The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare practice has improved patient management and care. Many clinical laboratory specialties have already integrated AI in diagnostic specialties such as radiology and pathology, where it can assist in image analysis, diagnosis, and clinical reporting. As AI technologies continue to advance, it is crucial for biomedical science students to receive comprehensive education and training in AI concepts and applications and to understand the ethical consequences for such development. This review focus on the importance of integrating AI into biomedical science curricula and proposes strategies to enhance curricula for different specialties to prepare future healthcare workers. Improving the curriculum can be achieved by introducing specific subjects related to AI such as informatics, data sciences, and digital health. However, there are many challenges to enhancing the curriculum with AI. In this narrative review, we discuss these challenges and suggest mitigation strategies.
