Al-Driven Competency Assessment in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for Medical Students

PI: Aparna Sridhar, MD, MPH

Project Goal

This project aims to develop an Al-driven competency assessment module for medical students globally, focusing on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), including family planning and fertility care. The module will provide adaptive, personalized learning with Al-driven case-based scenarios and real-time feedback to enhance knowledge retention and competency. By integrating data analytics and machine learning, the platform will tailor assessments. This initiative seeks work with local and international partners in medical education to bridge educational gaps, ensure global accessibility, and standardize SRHR training across diverse healthcare systems, ultimately improving the preparedness of future healthcare providers in reproductive health care.
