We need to talk about AI in medicine. Not just healthcare - medicine. What is in the pipeline when it comes to making a diagnosis, developing trust in a doctor-patient relationship, taking responsiblity for the outcome?

Our keynote speakers? Dr. Lacy A Knight, MD, MS - Chief Health Information Officer for all of Piedmont Hospitals, as well as Dr. Gopi Vora, who holds a Masters Degree in Healthcare Informatics.

This and more will be discussed in our Annual Meeting on September 17th at Piedmont Conference Room. The event is free and everyone is invited, food will be provided!

Because doctors need to be in the center of this discussion.
