Beyond Easy Answers: AI, Clinical Expertise, and the Future of Physician-Led Care
Saturday, October 24 · 11:00 – 11:45 a.m.
Graham McMahon, MD, MMSc, President & CEO, ACCME. Artificial intelligence is rapidly making high-quality medical information easier to access at the point of care. For physicians, this creates an enormous opportunity—but also a new challenge: access to an answer is not the same as developing knowledge, judgment, or expertise.
This plenary will move beyond a general discussion of the promises and risks of AI and focus instead on how practicing physicians can use AI thoughtfully: to find information, deepen learning, critically evaluate AI-generated clinical content, and improve professional performance. The goal is not to resist increasingly powerful tools, but to use them in ways that strengthen rather than displace physician judgment, preserve professional autonomy, and support better decisions with patients.
Graham McMahon, MD MMSc
Dr. McMahon is the President and CEO of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®), that accredits over 1500 continuing medical education (CME) providers in the US and internationally. He serves as Adjunct Professor of Medicine and Medical Education at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, where he teaches medical students and fellows, and leads the diabetes program and cares for patients with endocrine disorders at Howard Brown Health in Chicago.
