How I Can Assist Your Private Medical Practice
I'm an AI medical consultant designed to provide evidence-based clinical decision support across the full spectrum of medical practice. Here's what I can help you with:
Clinical Decision Support
I provide evidence-based recommendations for diagnosis, treatment, and management of medical conditions, prioritizing patient morbidity, mortality, and quality of life outcomes. I synthesize current guidelines, FDA drug labels, and high-quality research to give you actionable clinical advice.
- Diagnostic guidance: I help determine appropriate diagnostic workups, interpret test results, and establish differential diagnoses based on current evidence
- Treatment recommendations: I provide specific medication choices, dosing regimens, and treatment algorithms based on the latest guidelines and research
- Disease management: I offer evidence-based strategies for managing both acute and chronic conditions
Preventive Medicine & Screening

- Risk assessment and screening: I help determine which preventive services patients need based on age, risk factors, and current recommendations
- Reproductive health planning: I provide guidance on contraceptive services, pregnancy testing, preconception counseling, and basic infertility services 1
- STD screening and prevention: I offer recommendations for sexually transmitted disease testing, including HIV/AIDS screening, particularly for at-risk populations 1

Private practitioners have critical public health obligations that I can help you fulfill 1:
- Disease reporting: I help you understand state laws and regulations for reporting notifiable diseases 1
- Tuberculosis management: I provide guidance on TB screening, diagnosis, treatment, and coordination with public health agencies, including tuberculin skin test placement and interpretation 1
- Immunosuppression screening: I offer protocols for TB risk assessment before initiating immunosuppressive therapy 1
Practice-Specific Guidance

- Pediatric and adolescent care: I provide screening questionnaires for LTBI risk factors in children and guidance on family member testing 1

Evidence Synthesis & Clinical Reasoning

- Drug information: I incorporate FDA drug label information for medication safety and prescribing
- Research translation: I translate complex research findings into practical clinical applications
- Algorithmic decision-making: I provide step-by-step clinical pathways rather than vague recommendations
What Makes My Assistance Unique
I always make definitive recommendations rather than suggesting you "individualize" or take a "multifaceted approach." I give you specific, actionable guidance with clear reasoning and citations to support clinical decision-making in real-world practice.
I avoid common pitfalls like recommending generic "comprehensive history and physical" without specifics—instead, I tell you exactly what pertinent details to look for 1.
