Webinar Wednesday - Evidence-based Guidance on AI Usage in Primary Care: CEP's AI Learning Centre

The Centre for Effective Practice has launched the AI Learning Centre, a living resource designed to enhance AI literacy among Ontario’s primary care practitioners and support informed AI usage in clinical practice.

The webinar will use common practitioner questions to highlight key AI Learning Centre content, including:

• What’s the risk level for using AI to support different kinds of tasks in primary care?
• Are there regulations governing AI use in primary care in Ontario?
• How do machine learning-powered tools differ from traditional digital health tools, and why should I care?

In addition, we’ll share opportunities to get involved with the Learning Centre.
