Presidential Symposium
Sunday, October 23 | 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
The Presidential Symposium will highlight the meeting theme of AI and EI: Caring for the Patient in a Wireless World with sessions highlighting scientific advances in artificial intelligence and biology and a session that highlights the importance of emotional intelligence.
The Symposium will cover AI from a basic overview of machine learning to deeper dives into diagnostics, prediction, treatment planning, dosimetry and physics. Panels will discuss topics such as how AI tools will be utilized, how they will impact patient care and how we will assess the results. Speakers will dive further into how AI will transform radiation oncology, frameworks for ethically applied AI in medicine, clinical trial eligibility and how AI will reframe patient-provider interactions.
A session on the prevention and mitigation of radiation toxicity will discuss normal tissue injury in the cardiovascular system, radiation damage to the central nervous system and potential countermeasures, clinical trials of radiation response, and genetic factors associated with increased risk of developing late effects.
The final symposium session, Human Patients, Human Doctors, will cover topics related to emotional intelligence including communication between patient and doctor, digital empathy, cognitive biases and how they impact physician and patient perceptions, and the role of hope in patient care.
