Beyond mere understanding, we will explore frameworks needed to safely and efficiently use this technology. Grasping the AI behind ChatGPT as well as best practices will enable us to look at practical uses in primary care research and teaching. This includes using AI for quick Q&A sessions, help in writing, creating visuals, summarizing articles**, and exploring its broader potential.

The future of medical education will blend traditional teaching with AI tools. It's vital for today's educators to have working knowledge of these new technologies. This talk urges primary care professionals to not just watch, but actively join in the AI revolution. By equipping the educators, this talk hopes to inspire participants to dive in to discover the simple yet powerful ways AI can boost their work in medicine. Participants should walk away with a introductory understanding of ChatGPT works, how they can write effective prompts and several ways they can use ChatGPT in their practice.

Learning Objectives: At the end of the session each participant should...

Explain the methodology and principles behind how ChatGPT is trained.
Identify common pitfalls and limitations associated with ChatGPT and similar AI models.
Recognize several various potential uses of ChatGPT in a research and teaching environment.
Discuss the predicted trajectory and role of ChatGPT in the future landscape of primary care research and education.
