Vinay Gupta, MD, to Keynote 2026 WSMA Annual Meeting on AI and Physician Leadership
Renowned physician, dynamic public speaker, and healthcare innovator Vinay Gupta, MD, will deliver the keynote presentation at this year’s Annual Meeting of the WSMA House of Delegates, Sept. 26-27 at The Historic Davenport in Spokane. A medical analyst for NBC News, MS NoW, and CNBC, Dr. Gupta is one of our nation’s leading voices in healthcare—don’t miss this chance to hear from him in person (and earn CME!).
Celebrity physician innovator to bring his expertise to WSMA members.
Dr. Gupta will explore how physicians can lead through a period of extraordinary change in health care—rather than simply react to it. Some of the themes he will explore:
- The next era of clinical medicine. How AI, remote monitoring, and other emerging technologies can fundamentally change care at the bedside and in the home.
- Using technology to restore the human side of medicine. The most exciting promise of clinical AI isn’t replacing physicians, it’s giving clinicians time back to listen, think, and care.
- The changing role of the physician. As patients gain access to more information, physicians will increasingly serve not only as clinicians, but as trusted interpreters and guides.
- Trust and medical falsehoods. The growing challenge of helping patients distinguish credible medical information from noise.
- Physician leadership and advocacy. Why our profession needs more physicians willing to engage constructively in their communities, institutions, and the public square.
