Can artificial intelligence really write your medical notes for you?
Imagine finishing clinic on time, spending more moments looking your patient in the eye instead of staring at a screen, and cutting hours off your documentation workload — all without compromising accuracy, privacy, or patient safety.

In this thought-provoking episode of Aussie Med Ed, Dr Gavin Nimon (orthopaedic surgeon) explores the world of AI-powered medical transcription — a technology rapidly reshaping how clinicians document care.

Joined by a panel of leading experts:

Dr Emily Powell, rural GP registrar and AI enthusiast from i-Scribe, shares how AI scribes are already transforming rural and emergency medicine.
Dr Ben Condon, Clinical Director of Heidi Health, reveals how AI models are trained for clinical accuracy and how they adapt to your style of documentation.
Georgie Haysom, General Manager of Advocacy, Education & Research at Avant, breaks down the medicolegal, consent, and privacy risks — and explains what AHPRA expects when doctors use AI tools in practice.

🎧 You’ll discover:
✅ How AI transcription works — from voice recognition to medical language processing
✅ How much time clinicians are really saving (and how it’s improving work–life balance)
✅ Why patient consent and data security are non-negotiable
✅ The truth about AI “hallucinations” — and how to spot and prevent them
✅ Legal and ethical responsibilities under AHPRA and the Privacy Act
✅ What the future holds: ambient clinical intelligence, adaptive note-taking, and the integration of AI into medical education

Whether you’re a medical student curious about the tech shaping your future, a GP looking to streamline documentation, or a specialist navigating the intersection between innovation and regulation — this episode offers practical insights you can apply today.

Aussie Med Ed is sponsored by Avant Medical Indemnity: They state that they offer holistic support to help the doctor practice safely and believe they have extensive cover that's continually evolving to meet your needs in the ever changing regulatory environment.
