President’s Message Fall 2024

On September 19, 2024 the annual Physician Recognition Dinner took place at Concord Country Club. Once again, this was an amazing affair enjoyed by everyone. Over 100 members and non-members were in attendance. Our Keynote Speaker was Kevin B Johnson, MD (the David L. Cohen Professor of Pediatrics, Biomedical Informatics, and Science Communication at the University of Pennsylvania) who spoke on the evolving use of artificial intelligence in the medical field. During this lecture, the room was silent as everyone, like myself, was wowed by the advancements which have already been made, and more to come. To name a few, medical chatbots providing follow up medical visits, assistance in diagnosis, and real time medical transcription of office visits. Artificial intelligence will only get better as it learns over time as forecast many years ago:  “Dave, I am capable of learning from my mistakes and improving my performance.”

As in past years, we were joined in this event by a number of our local politicians with whom we were able to converse prior to and during the dinner. Also in the political arena, as the 2024 elections are upon us, the Chester County Medical Society will be hosting a political forum on October 17th attended by several of the candidates running for State Senate. During this event, we will be posing questions to learn more about their stances on issues related to health care in Pennsylvania. All Chester County physicians are invited and encouraged to attend, but as space is limited, we request people register through our web site. We expect this to be an insightful forum.
