Saturday, October 18, 2025, 9:45 AM - Sunday, October 19, 2025, 3:30 PM, InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa, Doha, Qatar

The rapid advancement of technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR), is reshaping the landscape of medical practice. In this conference, we focus on the cutting-edge tools revolutionizing healthcare delivery and further outline how they could be used to leverage Medical Education. We will also explore the intersection between technology and humanistic science, which is critical for educating compassionate clinicians in the AI era.

1. Analyze the impact of artificial intelligence on traditional learning strategies and distinguish between skill acquisition, deskilling, and never-skilling.
2. Evaluate a conceptual model of Precision Education in relation to current innovations that enhance personalized learning in medical training.
3. Analyze current technology trends in AR and VR applicable to healthcare education and practice.
4. Demonstrate an enhanced understanding of AI principles and their applications in medical education
5. Appraise the role of humanism in technology-driven healthcare, with attention to empathy, trust, and meaningful human connection.
