Practical Steps to Train (and Become) an AI-Era PhysicianArtificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday medicine, yet many physicians remain uncertain about how to begin using it effectively and responsibly. Becoming an “AI-era physician” does not require advanced technical expertise; it requires curiosity, critical thinking, and practical skills that can be progressively incorporated into clinical, academic, and research activities. In this Meet the Experts session, participants will explore concrete approaches to developing AI literacy, improving prompting skills, critically evaluating AI-generated information, and identifying useful applications in clinical reasoning, education, scientific writing, research, and workflow optimization. Through expert perspectives, real-world examples, and interactive discussion, the session will also address common pitfalls, including hallucinations, bias, privacy concerns, and overreliance on automation. The goal is to provide participants with a practical roadmap for moving from occasional AI use to confident, thoughtful, and responsible integration of AI into professional practice.Precision Solute Control and Dynamic Dosing with CRRTContinuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT) is often prescribed using fixed effluent targets, yet critically ill patients have rapidly changing metabolic demands, solute loads, and treatment goals. Precision CRRT requires moving beyond a “one-dose-fits-all” approach toward dynamic prescription and real-time adjustment of therapy. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn how to individualize CRRT dose according to clinical objectives, solute kinetics, treatment interruptions, residual kidney function, and evolving metabolic needs. Practical case-based exercises will address clearance of urea and other small solutes, management of severe hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis, control of sodium and other electrolyte disorders, and strategies for avoiding under- or overdosing. The workshop will also explore how modality, blood flow, dialysate and replacement-fluid rates, predilution, and delivered versus prescribed dose influence solute clearance. Participants will leave with a practical framework for adapting CRRT prescriptions dynamically and safely at the bedside.Social Determinants of Health and Acute Kidney InjuryAcute kidney injury (AKI) is not only a clinical syndrome but also a reflection of social and structural inequities that shape who becomes ill, who receives timely diagnosis, and who survives. Poverty, geography, education, access to clean water and sanitation, healthcare availability, occupational exposures, and delayed referral can all influence the risk, severity, and outcomes of AKI. These determinants are particularly relevant in low- and middle-income settings, where preventable causes of AKI remain common and access to laboratory testing, specialist care, and kidney replacement therapy may be limited. This plenary session will examine how social determinants interact with biological vulnerability and health-system capacity across the AKI continuum—from prevention and early recognition to treatment and recovery. Addressing AKI effectively therefore requires more than advances in diagnostics and therapeutics; it demands equitable health systems, stronger prevention strategies, and policies that reduce barriers to timely kidney care.
