- McGraw Hill introduces AI-powered enhancements across its medical education products, including the Clinical Reasoning platform and AI Reader in First Aid Forward.
- Clinical Reasoning uses AI to simulate patient interactions, helping students practice diagnostics, receive feedback, and improve clinical judgment in a controlled, evidence-based environment.
- AI Reader enables interactive study by converting highlighted content into practice questions, expanding personalized learning for over one million medical students globally.
McGraw Hill, a global leader in educational content and solutions, recently announced the release of new and enhanced AI capabilities throughout its suite of medical education products, designed to give students even more personalized, AI-powered tools that help them study more effectively. The move underlines the commitment of the company to integrating generative AI into evidence-based learning solutions developed for medical students.
Central to this development is Clinical Reasoning by McGraw Hill, a digital platform that leverages AI to simulate real-world patient interactions and help medical students build diagnostic skills in a controlled environment. This tool offers realistic patient encounters with the use of AI, enabling learners to take patient histories, order tests, and narrow the list of possible diagnoses.
Each scenario is concluded with an elaborate comparison of the student's reasoning with expert-reviewed approaches, providing specific feedback on how to improve one's clinical judgment. The platform is underpinned by structured, evidence-based problem modules and comprehensive illness scripts covering typical and atypical presentations, red-flag findings, and essential patterns necessary to deliver an appropriate differential diagnosis.
Dr. Scott Stern, Editor-in-Chief of Clinical Reasoning, said, "To develop these skills, future clinicians need more than knowledge; they need opportunities for deliberate practice and meaningful feedback, too". The tool is designed to complement classroom instruction and clinical mentorship while driving consistency in teaching and improvement in diagnostic accuracy across medical programs.
"This solution combines trusted content and innovative AI technology to help learners build the confidence they need to make informed clinical decisions, which further extends McGraw Hill's portfolio serving more than 3,000 medical learning institutions worldwide", said Scott Grillo, President of McGraw Hill Professional. Clinical Reasoning is currently available for review by appointment through the company's website.

Additionally, McGraw Hill has expanded the reach of its AI Reader into First Aid Forward, a widely used digital solution for students preparing for board exams such as the USMLE. AI Reader, previously part of other higher education platforms, provides learners with the ability to engage more actively with their course content.
Students can highlight text within First Aid Forward and instantly create practice questions based on validated material, enhancing comprehension, retention, and study efficiency. AI Reader has already positively impacted more than one million learners, said David Cortese, Chief Digital Information Officer at McGraw Hill. He further underscored that this expands McGraw Hill's objective to make AI-powered personalized learning solutions accessible to the worldwide medical education community.
Collectively, these offerings make McGraw Hill a leader in AI-powered medical education, integrating trusted content with interactive simulations and intelligent study tools to prepare tomorrow's clinicians for the complexities of real-world patient care.
