AI Curriculum Mapping In use

Every major organization now publishes its own AI-competency framework for medicine. Our comparison platform puts them side by side in one unified structure — so a school can see consensus, differences, and gaps, and build its own framework on the evidence.

The problem

AAMC learner and faculty competencies, peer-institution frameworks, published academic frameworks, and industry guidance all slice "AI competence" differently. A school choosing what to teach faces incommensurable documents: different domains, different granularity, different vocabularies.

The tool

The AI Competency Framework Comparison Tool synthesizes eight-plus source frameworks — including the AAMC learner and faculty competencies, published frameworks from peer institutions in the US and internationally, DATA-MD, and industry framings — into a unified superset framework of 7 domains and ~47 topics across 3 depth tiers, then offers four working views:

Method rigor

What it feeds

The unified framework is the backbone for our curriculum integration work — every existing session and course maps onto it, making gaps and priorities visible — and for the institutional competency set being developed alongside the AI guidelines. The tool itself is currently an internal, access-controlled resource for the AI in Medical Education Council; we're glad to demo it for collaborating institutions.
