In an era defined by Artificial Intelligence, hybrid learning, and increasing demands for efficiency, how do we preserve the humanistic core of medical education? This panel explores strategies to maintain authentic (patient, learner, educator) interactions, foster empathy, and teach the art of medicine without losing sight of technological/digital progress/transformation. Through dialogue and shared experiences, we will examine how educators can slow down when appropriate, create meaningful connections, and balance innovation with compassion.
