AI-Enhanced Continuing Professional Development as an Evolving Sociotechnical System: Multimethod Theoretical Framework Development Study

This study presents a novel conceptual model of AI-enhanced CPD as a sociotechnical system. The integration of CT and ANT with AI constructs improves explanatory power of the ALEERRT-CA framework. Educators, program leaders, and policymakers can use the framework as a structured toolset to evaluate AI readiness, design responsible AI-enhanced CPD practices, and plan future empirical research. The framework provides a theoretical lens for observing the rapidly evolving field of AI-enhanced CPD and health care practice.
