This panel introduces how artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) can be used to enhance clinical efficiency while enriching learning in real-time. Educators and Clinicians will explore how tools such as OpenEvidence and NotebookLM can quickly synthesize literature, generate clinically relevant teaching points, and support decision-making in busy inpatient and outpatient settings. We will demonstrate practical use, effective prompt engineering, and address common pitfalls when integrating AI into clinical education. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to harness AI for both patient care and bedside teaching.

Learning Objectives:

• Demonstrate a basic understanding of the technology behind modern AI tools and recognize which are effective in the clinical setting.
• Apply prompt engineering principles to customize AI outputs for efficient teaching and clinical decision support.
• Use AI tools to rapidly generate chalk talks, discussion questions, and learning points relevant to clinical care.

Calling all internists! HPV isn’t just lurking in the OB/GYN wing—it’s in your exam rooms too. This engaging, evidence-based session will equip internists with the tools to recognize, test, refer, prevent, and manage HPV-related conditions with confidence.

Learning Objectives:

• Sexually transmitted or sexually activated? When to Think HPV: Recognize clinical scenarios where HPV should be on your radar—warts, weird Paps, and high-risk patients.
• Testing 101: Understand who to test, when to test, and what those results actually mean. Referral Roadmap: Know when it’s time to call in the GYN, ENT, or colorectal cavalry.
• Prevention Power: Master the HPV vaccine schedule, catch-up guidelines, and how to tackle vaccine hesitancy. Treatment Tidbits: Review current approaches to managing warts and monitoring HPV-related lesions

Learning Objectives:

• Upon completion, participant will be able to define the trajectory-based approach to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) analysis and its impact on decision-making in HFrEF care.
• Upon completion, participant will be able to describe barriers and facilitators to the implementation of quadruple guideline-directed medical therapy in patients with HFrEF.
• Upon completion, participant will be able to describe how to use digital health tools effectively to monitor patient status and optimize therapy adherence in heart failure management.

Arash Karnama, DO, FACOI, Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine, Oklahoma State University

Learning Objectives:

• Upon completion, participant will be more aware of the harms that can, and do, occur as a result of tests and/or procedures that could have been avoided.
• Upon completion, participant will be more aware of the wastefulness of extensive patient testing when ordered inappropriately.
• Upon completion, participant will be more aware of the problems created when common tests and/or procedures are applied or prescribed indiscriminately.
