Trust, but Verify: Artificial Intelligence, Evidence Search, and Critical Thinking for Clinicians
AI tools like ChatGPT are already in our clinics—listing diagnoses, suggesting tests, and even proposing treatments. They’re fast. They’re not careful. That’s our job.
Our rule for using AI is simple: trust, but verify. Use it as a quick, creative second opinion—then confirm its ideas with reliable evidence and your patient’s needs in mind.
In this webinar, you will:
- Compare leading AI assistants on what matters most—accuracy, transparency, and data protection.
- Test AI-powered search tools against PubMed to see where each approach shines and how to combine them.
- Apply a quick critical thinking checklist to keep clinical reasoning in charge.
You don’t need to be an AI expert—just ready to use the technology wisely, verify efficiently, and keep your clinical judgment at the center.
This webinar will be offered four times in different regions. Click on the button to register for that specific webinar. Content will be the same in all four.
