The AI Impact Timeline: What to Expect
AI automation for Health Specialties Teachers is phased. By 2028, an estimated 35% of tasks could be automated. Early impacts, beginning as soon as 2026, will primarily affect administrative functions like grading, curriculum management, and course material creation.
The initial wave of AI in healthcare education by 2026 will focus on automating repetitive administrative tasks. This frees up educators but also means junior instructors heavily reliant on lecture delivery and standardized content may feel an impact sooner.
Mid-wave transformation, leading up to 2028, will see AI tools further integrated into educational delivery. However, core human-led activities such as clinical teaching, mentorship, hands-on laboratory supervision, and complex case discussions will remain resistant to automation.
