Does this touch patient records or my clinical notes?+
It stays out of clinical notes, and the course doesn’t connect it to your patient records system. Your follow-up list stays in your practice software: the AI writes the wording, and you or your front desk put the names in and send from the tool you already use. You review anything before it’s sent.
What about HIPAA?+
This isn’t legal or compliance advice, and we don’t make compliance claims. What the course does is have you choose what your AI may read before anything is connected. For a practice it recommends a separate admin mailbox, or pasting in a few emails with patient details removed, rather than the mailbox patients write to. Your existing privacy obligations still apply.
Will it answer my phone or talk to patients?+
No. Nothing here puts AI on the phone or in front of patients. It drafts; you or your front desk decide what goes out.
I’m solo, with no front desk. Is this for me?+
Yes. When you’re the doctor and the front desk, the follow-ups and replies are the first thing to slip. The front-desk chapter still helps: it gets how you run things written down, ready for the day you hire or need cover.
I’m barely using ChatGPT. Is this too advanced for me?+
No. If you’ve used AI for an email or a question, you have enough experience to start. It’s designed for practice owners who aren’t technical, and you don’t need to write code.
Do I need new software?+
No new practice software. You need the Claude or ChatGPT desktop app on a paid plan, about $20 a month. It works alongside whatever you already use for booking and texting, because it doesn’t plug into it.
What if I fall behind?+
On your own, you can’t: it waits where you left off. In the live cohort every session is recorded, and you have the full course to catch up with.
Will you build the whole thing for me?+
No. You build it, with help when you get stuck, so you understand and own the system. If you later want something bigger designed and set up for you, that’s a separate conversation.
