October Session: AI in Practice: Publishing & Medical Education-AI in Practice: Publishing and Medical Education

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webinar, hosted by CMSS, focused on how the American College of Physicians (ACP) is using AI in medical education and publishing. Miguel Paniagua described ACP’s education initiatives, including voice-cloned audio content, AI-generated board review podcasts, an AI-generated physician avatar, and a high-fidelity obesity counseling simulation tool. The simulation uses virtual patients, structured scoring, and personalized feedback to improve communication skills, with strong learner engagement and confidence gains. ACP emphasized careful human review, prompt specificity, and curriculum design, while also noting concerns about hallucinations, privacy, bias, and access.<br /><br />Todd Ware discussed AI in publishing, especially the rise of LLM-based “RAG” search, which can reduce direct traffic to journal sites and may return incomplete or inaccurate summaries. ACP is responding by exploring licensing models, AI contract boilerplates, and a “walled garden” system that lets AI generate derivative content from ACP’s own articles without exposing the full content broadly. Uses include article summaries, video scripts, CME materials, and social media assets, all heavily edited by humans. ACP also highlighted its collaboration with DynaMed/Dyna-AI to provide members with a controlled, evidence-based AI tool. The session closed with Q&A on copyright, metrics, contracts, and future AI webinars.
