October 28: Legal and Ethical Issues of Medical AI

Case Western Reserve University School of Law logo As AI increasingly enters clinical practice, several legal and ethical issues confront clinicians, health systems, and patients. Who is liable when things go wrong? What should patients be told, and to what do they need to consent? What should be written down in the clinical record? This talk will address questions of liability, informed consent, and documentation, especially when clinicians and AI models disagree.

Nicholson Price is a Professor of Law and a Professor of Learning Health Sciences at the University of Michigan. He studies how law shapes biomedical innovation, especially medical AI. His work has appeared in Science, Nature, JAMA, NEJM, and leading law reviews. He teaches patents, health law, life sciences innovation, AI law, and science fiction and the law. Nicholson is a Senior Fellow at the University of Copenhagen Center for Advanced Studies in Bioscience Innovation Law and a Celadon Fellow at Seoul National University Center for Trustworthy AI. He holds a Biological Sciences PhD and a JD from Columbia.
  • Identify key legal and ethical issues raised by medical AI in clinical practice.
  • Examine liability questions when clinicians rely on or disagree with AI models.
  • Understand informed consent requirements for patients when AI is used in care.
  • Explore best practices for documentation when clinicians and AI recommendations diverge.

October 27: Perfecting Without Perfectionism: How to Strive for Excellence Without Stressing Out Over Unattainable Ideals

This course is designed to educate legal professionals about perfectionism in the legal field and how although it can appear as a desirable trait, it is correlated with higher incidence of depression, anxiety and substance use disorder. This course will set forth the characteristics of perfectionism that tend to cause emotional difficulties for lawyers while carefully examining those features of legal practice that do not lend themselves to a rigid, all or nothing mindset that is common of perfectionistic tendencies.

Each of these subjects will be discussed as well as strategies shown to help effectively manage perfectionistic tendencies, including:
  • Carol Dweck's Mindset work.
  • Dr. Kristin Neff's self compassion practice.
  • Mindfulness.
