Generative AI is transforming medicine at lightning speed — and this immersive course will show you how to harness its power responsibly and effectively in hospitalist practice. The journey begins with a clear, approachable introduction to what GenAI is (and what it isn’t), cutting through the buzzwords to focus on what clinicians truly need to know. You’ll also gain a concise, practical overview of the latest GenAI models — from state-of-the-art GPT systems to multimodal and domain-specific models — and learn the key model parameters and optimizations (like temperature, context window, and prompt formatting) that can dramatically impact results. You’ll then dive into a hands-on beginner workshop, where you’ll learn to write effective prompts, practice using GenAI tools, and explore real-world clinical scenarios — no prior experience required. Building on this foundation, you’ll step back to examine the bigger picture in a session on responsible AI use, gaining practical frameworks for safe, ethical, and effective integration in clinical care, education, and research.
The course culminates in an advanced workshop that focuses not only on prompting strategies but advanced tools that are already changing the face of hospital medicine, including the use of AI scribes in hospital medicine work flows, retrieval augmented generation via tools like NotebookLM to keep up to date with the evidence, the promise and pitfalls of GenAI decision support tools, and finally how to use LLMs to help crack your most difficult cases. Given the rapid evolution of the AI landscape and ongoing development of new tools, specific examples and tools used in this agenda may change. We will update session content to ensure participants are learning with the most current, relevant, and clinically applicable AI capabilities available.
