Updated Advice to the Profession: Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Practice

Given the rapidly evolving nature of artificial intelligence (AI), CPSA has updated its Advice to the Profession (AtP) on Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Practice (formerly titled “Artificial Intelligence in Generated Patient Record Content”).
