AI Clinical Coach
Our Vision
We aim to cultivate a “thinking mindset” culture in busy teaching hospitals and clinics through learning-centered use of AI, metacognitive language, and coaching frameworks in everyday practice. The same habits that strengthen clinical judgment will also help clinicians and communities become better thinkers in any scenario they face.
Together with our attending physician partners, we will foster strong, transferable "thinking habits" in medical trainees and support faculty coaches in teaching these skills effectively. Our goal is to make this teaching explicit, deliberate, and measurable, in service of better patient care and a more thoughtful society.
Developing self-reflective thinking habits is essential not only for clinical decision-making but for navigating any complex challenge in modern life. These habits help people think more clearly and resist cognitive complacency in an age of powerful AI tools.
Our Product
We developed AI Clinical Coach (AI CliC, pronounced “ay-eye-click”) as a tool to promote the thinking mindset in clinical training and allow teaching about “thinking” explicitly and deliberately. AI CliC uses a thinking rubric to analyze conversations, creating a shared mental model between teacher and learner. It acts as a teaching assistant, providing valuable support to the instructor and documented longitudinal data for the learner.
