The MedPromptJam was a 24-hour prompt-a-thon event held at the UCI School of Medicine on February 14, 2024, to encourage users of all generative AI experience levels to improve their prompting skills. The goal was to provide a learning opportunity with a low barrier to entry and was conducted with multiple levels of participation to enable engagement across a continuum that could meet the needs and schedules of busy faculty, staff, and students. The prompt-a-thon model is shared here as a reference for institutions that would like to host a similar event; it can be modified to an institution’s local context.
