Medical Humanities: What is a Note? Medical Records and Narrative in the Age of Al

With Guest Speaker: Sari Altshuler (Associate Professor of English, Founding Director, Health, Humanities, and Society Program Northeastern University)

Clinical notes take time. The work often spills over after hours. Al scribes promise much-needed respite for the overworked physician. But, before we adopt the technology wholesale, we have to ask what clinical notes are and what we want them to be. This talk takes stock of the narrative qualities of notes-especially as they have changed in recent decades-and considers what new training and expertise physicians will to adopt Al scribes responsibly.
