Description of CME Course
Just three years after ChatGPT’s launch, healthcare has emerged as a surprising early adopter of AI. In the webinar, recorded May 15, 2026, Dr. Robert Wachter, chair of the UCSF Department of Medicine and author of a new book on AI and healthcare, examines whether this technology will finally deliver on medicine’s long-promised digital transformation. While acknowledging traditional concerns like hallucinations and bias, he’ll argue that there are grounds for informed optimism on the part of both patients and physicians. He’ll also wrestle with some of the vexing questions raised by AI: how automation quietly erodes the skills of clinicians who rely on it, why the “human in the loop” is less reassuring than it sounds, and what it actually takes to restructure a healthcare organization around AI’s possibilities.
