View event recording

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the medical landscape, opening new doors for enhanced diagnostic accuracy and collaborative decision-making. Despite the rapid development and implementation of AI tools, many frontline clinicians are unprepared to critically evaluate these technologies or integrate their outputs into diagnostic reasoning.

Join Cornelius James, MD, a National Academy of Medicine Scholar in Diagnostic Excellence ('21-'22), for an enlightening exploration of the journey of diagnostic AI—from its history to its future potential. Discover cutting-edge initiatives designed to equip clinicians with the essential skills to work effectively with AI and learn about the paradigm shift in medical education necessary to empower healthcare professionals as proactive, AI-savvy stakeholders. This webinar will provide valuable insights into harnessing AI for diagnostic excellence, as well as a Q&A session.

By the end of this presentation participants should be able to:

  • Describe the historical evolution of diagnostic artificial intelligence (AI)
  • Summarize the current state of AI integration into diagnostic reasoning curricula
  • Recognize initiatives to prepare clinicians to use AI in their diagnostic decision-making
