This is a community for physicians, PAs, NPs, Nurses, Paramedics, EMTs, CNAs, LPNs, students of medical disciplines, and folks interested in joining the field.

Rules: 1. No discrimination, bigotry, intolerance, or harassment allowed. Instances of such behavior will be deleted, and users with multiple offenses will be banned.

2. Please do not post personal medical questions here. Case reports for discussion are fine, but if you're looking for medical advice, you should consult a physician IRL. If you are trying to figure out what kind of specialist to go to, post a comment to the pinned post.

3. No marketing or advertising of commercial products. Recommendations based on personal experience for educational resources are fine, but outright advertisement is not.

4. Be rad to each other. This field is rough enough as it is, no need to tear each other down. If you have a critical opinion of something, present your arguments as critique of policies or practices in a respectful manner. (e.g. discussions about scope of practice for APPs)

5. PLEASE REPORT THINGS THAT BREAK THE RULES! (At the moment, there is one of me, and I am a medical student with pudding for brains and slim to none in the way of free time [yay clinicals!], so help me out here :D)

6. Flag NSFW/NSFL posts appropriately. If you've been in the field more than a couple months, you've probably got your own little pile of PTSD already, but give folks a warning if you're going to be talking about gnarly stuff. Not everyone is in a good headspace to deal with trauma-dumping or over-sharing. (Note: Discussions of painful or traumatic experiences are allowed, just give folks a heads up before they click.)

My thoughts are summarized by this line

Casey Fiesler, Associate Professor of Information Science at University of Colorado Boulder, told me in a call that while it’s good for physicians to be discouraged from putting patient data into the open-web version of ChatGPT, how the Northwell network implements privacy safeguards is important—as is education for users. “I would hope that if hospital staff is being encouraged to use these tools, that there is some significant education about how they work and how it's appropriate and not appropriate,” she said. “I would be uncomfortable with medical providers using this technology without understanding the limitations and risks. ”

It's good to have an AI model running on the internal network, to help with emails and the such. A model such as Perplexity could be good for parsing research articles, as long as the user clicks the links to follow-up in the sources.

It's not good to use it for tasks that traditional "AI" was already doing, because traditional AI doesn't hallucinate and it doesn't require so much processing power.

It absolutely should not be used for diagnosis or insurance claims.
