Education remains one of the most underutilized tools in healthcare, despite its proven impact on clinical outcomes. While physicians are expected to teach, few receive training in adult learning principles. Emerging AI beings—adaptive, conversational systems grounded in educational science—offer a scalable medical training and patient engagement solution. These tools extend beyond the classroom, guiding patients through personalized Health Journeys that promote understanding, behavior change, and equity. To truly modernize care, we must integrate AI-driven education into formal curricula and treat patient education as a clinical competency, because informed learners, both doctors and patients, improve the system from within.
