AI @ PSOM
Welcome to the Perelman School of Medicine’s central resource for artificial intelligence (AI).
PSOM is integrating AI to accelerate discovery, improve medical education, streamline administrative activities, and enhance clinical care — always guided by our core values of ethics, data integrity, and patient trust.
Through responsible innovation, we aim to develop a workforce which is future ready, through the development of AI capabilities, and to:
- Improve efficiency in research and operations
- Advance precision medicine
- Support faculty, staff, and students in thoughtful, ethical AI adoption
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how we teach, learn, and conduct research at Penn. To support our community, the Perelman School of Medicine is launching an AI Resource Hub designed to provide best practices, professional development opportunities, and guidance for responsible AI use.
We invite you to take advantage of Penn’s growing network of resources to learn how to integrate AI effectively, ethically, and securely in your work.

Refer to official Penn ISC AI for guidance
C.R.A.F.T. Model
The C.R.A.F.T. model is a structured approach to prompt engineering designed to help you create effective prompts.
Prompting & Practice
Prompting in AI is the process of providing instructions, such as a question, command, or statement, to an AI model to guide it in generating a desired response. The quality of the output is directly influenced by how well the prompt is crafted, so clear, specific, and detailed prompts lead to more relevant and useful results.
