ChatGPT Implications for Medical Education, Knoledge and Practice Panel/Forum Discussion

The Pandora’s box of ChatGPT and related AI technology has suddenly been unleashed on the world, leaving many stunned with questions about its potential impact and how to respond to it. The use of ChatGPT by the general public, including students, continues to rise at an unprecedented pace, being used for all imaginable and many unimaginable purposes. When such a freely available tool can pass medical licensing and clinical reasoning exams, we look to our panel of clinical educators to review what's already known to be possible with this technology and to where the future of education and practice will change. Join us as we explore how our academic medical center must be on the leading edge of this changing world.

Talk Title: "Data Privacy amidst Changing Abortion Law – How the Supreme Court’s Ruling Confronts How Clinical Information Systems May be Used For or Against Patients”
Contemporary medical practice is inextricably linked to health information technology. With the widespread adoption of electronic health record systems and digital apps that store and exchange massive amounts of patient data, laws like HIPAA have been in place to protect the privacy of protected health information. However, the recent Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization may have upended the status quo. In this session, we will highlight the widespread implications of the Dobbs decision on clinical and biomedical informatics and describe how the information technology we rely on for clinical practice and use in our daily lives could be used against patients and clinicians.
