Practical Applications for AI in PEM

This workshop is designed to be interactive, allowing you to apply the skills presented in real time to a task that’s relevant to you. To make the most of this session, please come prepared with a specific “to-do” item from your workload that you’d like to tackle.

This could include, but is not limited to:

1. Drafting an IRB submission
2. Creating discharge smart phrases in EPIC
3. Developing a didactic session or presentation for residents or medical students
4. Writing a cover letter for a job application
5. Preparing for journal club
6. Needing to submit a summary to the SOC of your scholarly work

By the end of the workshop, the goal is for you to walk away with not only a better understanding of large language models in medical education but also tangible progress on a task that matters to you.

Large Language Models

Here are some links to some of the most widely used AI applications.

ChatGPT by OpenAI – A conversational AI developed by OpenAI, based on the GPT-4 architecture, designed for natural language understanding and generation. 🔗 ChatGPT

Gemini by Google – Formerly known as Bard, Gemini is Google’s advanced AI chatbot, powered by its latest language models. 🔗 Gemini

Claude by Anthropic – A next-generation AI assistant built by Anthropic, designed to be helpful, harmless, and honest. 🔗 Claude

LLaMA by Meta – Meta’s Large Language Model, designed for researchers and developers exploring AI applications. 🔗 LLaMA

Copilot by Microsoft – Microsoft’s AI-powered assistant integrated into Microsoft 365 and other products, leveraging OpenAI’s language models. 🔗 Copilot

Doximity GPT – HIPAA-compliant AI writing assistant powered by GPT-4, designed to help healthcare professionals draft clinical documents, patient communications, and administrative paperwork efficiently. 🔗 Doximity GPT

Sample Activities

Discharge Instructions

You have tasked to write discharge and follow up instructions for all five common pediatric diagnoses (bronchiolitis, gastroenteritis, laceration repair, croup, cast care) to the following patient families. You may not be able to get through the entire task, but see how much you can accomplish in 15 minutes:

1. Parent is a JD/MD
2. Parent has not completed high school
3. Parent is Spanish speaking, went to college
4. Parent is Spanish speaking, no literacy
5. Parent is blind

Project IRB

Improving time to administration of pain medication in patients with sickle cell pain crises.

While this is going to be IRB exempt, you still have to submit it for review. Please download the IRB protocol summary document for your institution and complete it. It needs to be submitted tomorrow, as the IRB is meeting this week. Otherwise this project will be delayed for at least two months. You may not be able to get through the entire task, but see how much you can accomplish in 15 minutes.

Title

Research Project-Comparing the efficacy and safety profile of precedex vs. ketamine for sedation during radiologic procedures.

Please download the IRB protocol summary document for your institution and complete it. It needs to be submitted tomorrow, as the IRB is meeting this week. Otherwise this project will be delayed for at least two months. You may not be able to get through the entire task, but see how much you can accomplish in 15 minutes:

Toxicology Simulation

Creating a simulation on the toxidrome of your choice for EM residents. Consider every detail- What are your learning objectives? what equipment and personnel do you need?

Complete the guide that has been attached. You may not be able to get through the entire task, but see how much you can accomplish in 15 minutes:

Cover Letter

You are moving to Atlanta at graduation because your partner’s job. There are two hospital groups that you can potentially look for a job. One of the groups is the Emory PEM Group (Egleston, Hughes) and the other is Scottish Rite (PEMA-private group). You are cold calling them. Write a cover letter and initial email that would guarantee you an interview at both places. You may not be able to get through the entire task, but see how much you can accomplish in 15 minutes:

Statistics Lecture

You took the step exams and boards, right? So you definitely know everything about statistics. You were voluntold that you have to do a presentation for medical students on the different types of statistical variables and models in about 48 hours for a group of 60 medical students in a lecture hall in preparation for their Step 3 exam. You can assume none of them have taken a formal stats class prior to your lecture.

You are the fellow on in the ED today and tomorrow. Use language modeling to help create a didactic for this group. You may not be able to get through the entire task, but see how much you can accomplish in 15 minutes:

Preparing for Journal Club

You have been asked to present “Randomized Trial of Three Anticonvulsant Medications for Status Epilepticus” from the NEJM for journal club for conference this week. The faculty have asked you to present the intormation in the article in the PICO tormat. Prepare this presentation. You may not be able to get through the entire task, but see how much you can accomplish in 15 minutes:
