Artificial intelligence is reshaping how clinicians access information, communicate with patients, and approach documentation, education, and research. It has been recorded that AI chatbots alone receive over 1 billion visits Large language models and other AI tools are being integrated into clinical workflows, yet many physical therapists lack a working understanding of how these tools function, where they add value, and where their use raises ethical or professional concerns.
This course is designed for Physical Therapists of all experience levels. The goal of this course is to build a working understanding of current AI tools and broad review of applications within various aspects of physical therapy. Emphasis on prompt engineering will be placed. Participants will explore real-world use cases and develop practical skills in prompt engineering through a guided breakout exercise. The course also addresses the personal and societal implications of AI adoption, encouraging participants to critically evaluate both the opportunities and the risks associated with integrating these technologies.
Delivered as a 100-minute presentation, the course combines instructor-led presentation with interactive discussion, hands-on prompt engineering practice, and dedicated time for questions and answers, allowing participants to leave with tools and strategies they can apply immediately.
Greater NY District will host a brief business meeting at the beginning before proceeding with the course.
This is a live Hybrid event. The virtual option is held on Zoom, and the in-person option is held at Tisch Hospital (Located within NYU Langone Heath).
