Webinar Overview:
This session explores how AI can be thoughtfully integrated across the full dermatology patient journey — from referral and intake to documentation, follow-up, and clinical decision support. The discussion will focus on practical, clinic-ready tools currently accessible to Canadian dermatologists, as well as areas where further technology development may benefit from physician involvement.
Emphasis will be placed on balancing efficiency with clinical oversight, including medicolegal considerations, data privacy, and the limitations of automated systems. The overall objective is to provide a pragmatic framework to help dermatologists evaluate and safely incorporate AI into everyday workflows while maintaining professional standards and clinical judgment.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the main types of AI relevant to dermatology, their strengths and their limitations.
- Recognize which AI tools may solve true workflow bottlenecks vs those that risk creating new challenges.
- Explain why dermatologist engagement with AI through adoption, development and policy is critical to skin health leadership in Canada.
