Description of CME Course
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies may be the most rapidly adopted health technology in generations, touching everything from how we access information, manage data, to even patient communication. This course (recorded May 15, 2026) focuses on a “big picture” for AI in the year 2026, with a particular focus on reasoning technologies (which appear to “think” like human experts) and agentic workflows (which can accomplish tasks over long periods of time). This course will cover these foundational concepts, review recent changes in the regulatory environment and technological innovations, provide data from the latest clinical trials, and summarize ongoing discussions about future models of care. This course is designed to ground clinicians in high level discussions that are going on in boardrooms, CEO offices, and government regulators today.
