Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we talk about the importance of proficiency and competency with any tool or modality used in your practice.

We discuss:

• Why training is necessary with any tool or modality used in your practice, not just AI
• What the professional ethics codes say about competence and proficiency for tools and modalities used
• How PCT evolved to help clinicians manage the advent of new technology
• Our upcoming CE training on how to evaluate AI and incorporate it into your practice and workflow ethically and effectively
• How training can set you apart and strengthen the therapeutic alliance

PCT Resources:

• Live (and recorded) PCT CE Course: Beyond Hype and Anxiety: A Practical Framework for Ethical AI Use in Clinical Practice is a 4-hour legal-ethical CE training co-presented by Dr. Maelisa McCaffrey and Liath Dalton, designed to help clinicians move beyond fear and guesswork into confident, responsible AI use. The course provides a structured, real-world framework for integrating AI into clinical workflows while upholding HIPAA requirements, ethical standards, and clinical standards of care. Participants will learn how to evaluate AI tools, understand what constitutes PHI (and the limits of de-identification), implement appropriate policies and safeguards, and maintain documentation quality and clinical integrity. With practical tools, decision-making frameworks, and implementation strategies, this training supports clinicians in making informed, defensible decisions about AI use in practice.
