This appearance shows the range of formats available to organizers: a focused presentation, a chaired session and a moderated discussion. Proposed learning objectives for a future leadership session include distinguishing a clinical AI use case from its regulatory questions, identifying evidence needed for local evaluation and assigning responsibility for human review. These are planning options, not measured outcomes from the conference.
