Effective and Appropriate AI Use in Clinical Workflows is a practical session for physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, students, and faculty focused on using artificial intelligence as a thinking aid rather than an answer source. The session begins with a concise overview of what AI is, how it has been embedded in everyday technologies for decades, and why recent tools have increased visibility and use across healthcare. Participants will explore ethical considerations related to AI use, including data transparency, use of personal and organizational data, and environmental impact, followed by applied examples of how AI can support clinical reasoning through better question formulation and contextual evaluation while reinforcing the central role of professional judgment. The session also highlights appropriate AI use outside direct patient care, including reducing administrative burden, supporting patient communication, and improving workflow efficiency. The session contrasts clinician and student AI use, addressing the judgment gap that exists during professional development and the implications for teaching and assessment. Interactive demonstrations and discussion are integrated throughout, concluding with practical guidance for PTs, PTAs, students, and faculty on how to begin or refine AI use in ways that align with scope of practice and professional responsibility.
