Six weeks ago, Prompt Medicine Foundation Course went live. It began as an educational experiment around one central question: How should physicians think safely with AI? Since launch on 17 March 2026, the response has been encouraging. Current progress: • 25 enrollments across multiple countries • 4 physicians have already successfully completed the course Learners to date include colleagues from: • Saudi Arabia • Pakistan • Australia • United States • United Arab Emirates • Turkey • Israel • Germany • United Kingdom For a niche course focused not on AI hype—but on clinical reasoning, judgment, trust calibration, and professional responsibility—this early international uptake is meaningful. It suggests that physicians globally recognize the same emerging gap: We are adopting AI tools faster than we are preparing clinicians to use them safely. Prompt Medicine was built to address that gap. The course focuses on: • AI limitations in clinical settings • Automation bias and over-trust • Physician accountability in AI-assisted care • Preserving independent clinical judgment • Cognitive frameworks for responsible AI use Looking ahead I would particularly welcome conversations with: • Medical schools • Residency / postgraduate training programs • Hospitals and healthcare groups • Professional colleges and societies • CME / CPD providers that are exploring structured physician education in this area. This is still early—but the need is real, global, and growing. 🔗 pmcourse.surgeonshamim.com/ #AIinMedicine #MedicalEducation #HealthcareInnovation #ClinicalReasoning #DigitalHealth #CME

The Prompt Medicine Foundation Course is designed for: • Practicing physicians • Medical educators • Residents and trainees • Healthcare professionals exploring AI integration It does not require technical background. It focuses on safe, responsible cognitive integration of AI into medical practice. As AI tools become increasingly embedded in healthcare systems, physicians must remain the final decision-makers.

AI in medicine is not only a technological transformation. It is also a cognitive research frontier. Key questions emerging now include: • Are physicians cognitively ready for AI-assisted medicine? • How well do doctors calibrate trust in AI outputs? • Does routine AI use alter clinical reasoning? These questions are central to the Prompt Medicine initiative. The foundation course is the educational component of this broader effort. Course portal: pmcourse.surgeonshamim.com/

AI and Physician Responsibility No matter how advanced AI becomes: The physician remains: • Legally responsible • Ethically accountable • Clinically answerable AI may assist thinking. But it cannot absorb responsibility. That principle forms the foundation of the Prompt Medicine educational framework. The course explores how physicians can integrate AI into practice while maintaining professional accountability. More information: pmcourse.surgeonshamim.com/
