Corewell Health, originally formed in a groundbreaking 2022 merger between Spectrum Health and Beaumont Health, is Michigan’s largest nonprofit health system. They currently operate 21 hospitals and 300 outpatient facilities while partnering with universities statewide to train future medical professionals.
Electronic health records (EHRs) and secure patient messaging are now fundamental components of modern healthcare. They enable physicians to quickly review test results, update charts, and communicate with patients. However, most medical school curricula do not provide structured training in how to use these crucial software systems. To close this gap, Corewell Health is expanding its simulated EHR platform, preparing students for the digital systems they rely on during residency and beyond.
Our AI Tool for Enhancing Medical Education integrates into Corewell Health’s family medicine curriculum. The system generates diverse, realistic AI-generated patient cases built from national health datasets. Students interact with both adult and pediatric patients, order tests, and prescribe medications. An integrated order entry system mirrors existing EHRs, while AI-generated feedback highlights errors and reinforces correct reasoning. This process enables medical students to practice responding to patients in a realistic setting.
The platform also features an exam preparation page with AI-generated United States Medical Licensing Exam Step 2 questions, helping students strengthen diagnostic thinking and become more confident with exam formats. This ensures they are not only better prepared for testing but also more equipped to face the responsibilities of residency.
