What happens when artificial intelligence collides with centuries-old academic traditions? In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Heather Jamniczky, Associate Dean of Graduate Science Education and 3M National Teaching Fellow, tackles the seismic shifts reshaping how we train the next generation of medical researchers.

From late-night worries about academic integrity to bold visions of AI-ready graduates, Heather shares candid insights on navigating uncharted territory. We explore the faculty hesitations to embracing AI, reimagine what authentic assessment looks like when AI can write and analyze, and dive deep into the ethical minefields emerging in AI-assisted research.

But here's the kicker – in a mic-drop moment that will make you question everything, Heather poses the ultimate challenge: "Should we even examine a written thesis anymore?" This isn't just about adapting to new tools; it's about fundamentally rethinking what graduate education means in an AI-ubiquitous world.

Whether you're supervising students, designing curricula, or simply trying to keep pace with the AI revolution in academia, this episode will challenge your assumptions and equip you with practical thoughts for the road ahead. The future of graduate education isn't coming – it's here.

Join us for a conversation that's equal parts challenging and inspiring, as we explore how to prepare medical graduates not just to use AI, but to lead its ethical implementation in research and clinical practice.
