AI in Rural Clinical Practice: Focus Group Expression of Interest

UBC Continuing Professional Development (UBC CPD), in partnership with the Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc), is exploring the educational needs of rural physicians related to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical practice.

We are seeking input from rural physicians and patients living in rural British Columbia to better understand experiences, perspectives, opportunities, concerns and learning needs related to AI in health care. Insights gathered will help inform the development of practical, evidence-informed educational resources for rural physicians.

Express your interest by completing the appropriate form by Sept.3, 2026. Selected participants will be invited to participate in a 60-minute virtual focus group.
