Clinicians’ Forum on AI in Health & Medicine

The Clinicians’ Forum for health professional societies and associations will engage regularly with AI product developers in the interest of enhanced mutual comfort levels and ongoing clinician-developer collaboration and accelerated bi-directional learning. 

About the Forum

The Clinicians’ Forum will gather for demonstration and consideration of developing tools, engage in meaningful dialogue, surface critical questions, and generate actionable insights to guide the responsible and effective application, evaluation and improvement of AI technologies applied by clinicians in various health and health care venues. By creating opportunities for real-time incubation of promising ideas and fostering collaboration, this effort will accelerate the safe, equitable, and transformative integration of AI into health care and enable a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
