Generative AI is a rapidly growing field with the potential to revolutionize how we diagnose and treat illnesses.

How are you currently digesting new ideas in medicine and healthcare? Do you have a framework for quickly deciding what is essential for you and your organization? 

Generative AI is a rapidly growing field with the potential to revolutionize how we diagnose and treat illness. Such disruptive change and how it could affect you and your organization can be overwhelming. For more than 60 years, Stanford has pioneered research and educated the next generation of AI innovators. 

Understanding the Future of Medicine: Generative AI is the first in a series of yearly workshops bringing leading Stanford faculty, collaborators, and other experts together to discuss the implications of rapidly evolving technologies in the field of medicine, and beyond. 

This inaugural Stanford in-person workshop will be a highly focused and interactive experience designed to deepen your understanding and accelerate your ability to synthesize information about rapidly changing technologies. The workshop will foster skills in the area of Generative AI; as well as encourage participants to use Generative AI as a model case for evaluating the current capabilities, future possibilities, and potential applications of new technologies in healthcare.

The Understanding the Future of Medicine: Generative AI faculty will share expertise, strategies, and diverse perspectives while utilizing an innovation framework of identifying, investigating, assessing, ideating, and imagining future risks and rewards.

The Generative AI workshop will precede the September 6-7, 2024 Stanford Big Ideas in Medicine conference that focuses on Healthcare Delivery. For those who cannot attend the conference, we will cover applicable highlights throughout the workshop.

Whether you are a business leader, physician, or policymaker, Understanding the Future of Medicine: Generative AI will prepare you with the frameworks and skills you need to make better decisions about this revolutionary technology. 

Standalone workshop rate: $199

Student combo rate (with the Big Ideas in Medicine conference): $99

Big Ideas in Medicine Conference + Workshop combo rate: An additional $50 to your Big Ideas rate
