Today, the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS), a leading coalition of more than 50 specialty societies representing more than 800,000 physicians across the house of medicine, and the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), a nonprofit organization founded by clinicians to advance responsible health AI, announced a new partnership to advance the responsible and ethical use of AI in healthcare.
Together, the organizations will jointly develop and promote continuing medical education (CME) programs to enhance the skills and knowledge of medical specialties in the era of rapidly developing AI technologies. This new collaboration will leverage the expertise of CMSS’s extensive network of clinicians and CHAI’s broad-based membership and proficiency in AI to ensure innovative technologies are adopted throughout our healthcare system.
“Physicians turn to their specialty societies as trusted sources of guidance on emerging challenges, including the responsible integration of AI into healthcare,” said Dr. Helen Burstin, MD, MPH, CEO of CMSS. “Our partnership with CHAI will empower our member societies to deliver tailored, high-quality educational resources that meet the evolving needs of their physician members.”
“I’m thrilled to be working with CMSS in this new formal partnership to help specialty societies utilize AI and the many benefits these new technologies bring, at a scale and level of specificity we have never been able to achieve before,” said Dr. Brian Anderson, MD, President and CEO of CHAI. “Together, we’re leading the development of AI curricula tailored to the needs of the many different medical specialties to elevate patient safety and quality, and ultimately improve health outcomes for all.”
