The potential of AI to transform health care — through the work of both organizational leaders and medical professionals — is increasingly evident as more real-world clinical applications emerge.

In this accessible and clinician-focused tutorial, MIT Professor Regina Barzilay introduces the fundamentals of generative AI and its transformative applications in healthcare. Designed for healthcare professionals with no prior technical background, this session breaks down how models like ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) work, what they can (and can’t) do, and how they are already being used in clinical practice, from drafting patient notes to supporting clinical decision-making.

Participants will learn:

• Core concepts behind generative AI and LLMs

• Examples of real-world use cases in clinical settings

• Opportunities and limitations of these tools in daily practice

• How to critically evaluate AI-generated output

• Ethical considerations and potential challenges in medical applications

Whether you're curious about AI's potential or looking to responsibly integrate it into your work, this session offers a practical, clinician-oriented overview to help you engage with these emerging tools confidently and thoughtfully.
