Practical Steps to Becoming an AI-Era Physician
Session Overview
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how physicians access information, interpret complex data, communicate, and make clinical decisions. Rather than focusing solely on individual AI applications, this session will use a complex real-world critical care case to demonstrate how physicians can progressively develop the skills needed to work effectively in an AI-enabled healthcare environment.
The case involves an elderly patient with severe pneumonia complicated by in-hospital cardiac arrest, mixed septic and cardiogenic shock, VA-ECMO support, mechanical ventilation, continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia, hemoadsorption therapy, prolonged kidney replacement therapy, and eventual kidney recovery.
What Will Be Covered
What Participants Will Learn
Participants will learn how to identify clinical tasks that may benefit from AI support, formulate effective prompts and questions, verify AI-generated information, and incorporate these tools into daily practice. The session will emphasize that AI should enhance—not replace—clinical reasoning, professional responsibility, and patient-centered care.
Target Audience
Physicians, fellows, residents, medical educators, clinical researchers, allied healthcare professionals, and healthcare leaders interested in the responsible integration of AI into clinical practice.
成為 AI 時代醫師的實務進階之路
課程簡介
Artificial intelligence 正快速改變醫師蒐集資訊、整合臨床資料、進行決策與溝通的方式。然而,真正重要的並非單純學會使用某一項 AI 工具,而是了解哪些工作適合由 AI 協助、如何驗證產出,以及如何在提升效率的同時維持臨床判斷與專業責任。
本場次將以一個高度複雜的重症病例為主軸。病人因肺炎住院後發生 cardiac arrest,後續合併 septic shock、cardiogenic shock、Takotsubo cardiomyopathy 與新診斷的 acute myeloid leukemia,治療過程中接受 VA-ECMO、mechanical ventilation、CKRT、hemoadsorption therapy 及長期 kidney replacement therapy,最終腎功能逐步恢復。
透過此病例,課程將探討 AI 如何實際應用於複雜重症照護。
課程內容
參與者將學到
參與者將學習如何辨識適合使用 AI 輔助的臨床工作,設計更有效的 prompts,並以系統化方式驗證 AI-generated information。
課程亦將討論如何將 AI 整合至日常工作流程,同時避免過度依賴,確保最終決策仍建立在完整的臨床情境、專業判斷與病人價值之上。
適合對象
各科醫師、研究醫師、住院醫師、醫學教育者、臨床研究人員、醫療專業人員,以及對 AI 導入臨床照護、教育與研究有興趣的醫療工作者。

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.
