Artificial Intelligence in Pediatric Emergency Medicine | A Conversation with Dr. Selin Sagalowsky

Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from theory to the bedside in pediatric emergency medicine. In this episode, Dr. Selin Sagalowsky - Vice Chair for Education in the Department of Emergency Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine - joins the show to discuss how AI is already being used to support medical education and how it may soon reshape day-to-day clinical care in the pediatric emergency department.

We explore how AI and educational informatics can help better understand trainee clinical exposure, personalize learning, and potentially link education to patient-centered outcomes. Dr. Sagalowsky also shares her vision of AI as a future “co-pilot” in the ED, offering real-time clinical decision support, while highlighting important risks around de-skilling, safety, validation, and the preservation of adaptive expertise and professional identity.

This conversation kicks off a broader interview series with pediatric emergency physicians and educators exploring what AI means for the future of PEM - both the opportunities and the challenges as these tools become more integrated into clinical practice and training.
