OpenAI has unveiled a version of its flagship AI ChatGPT for professionals in the medical field, such as physicians, pharmacists and nurses to aid them with documentation, research and patient care processes.
It is available for free to verified physicians and physician assistants, pharmacists, nurse practitioners and other clinicians in the US, according to a blog post from the company.

The AI tool is expected to act as an assistant and undertake tasks such as evidence review, personalised diagnosis and treatment considerations, documentation drafting, and patient education materials.
"Common use cases include reviewing care pathways, synthesising evidence with citations, reasoning through differentials, drafting prior authorization letters, summarizing patient charts, and creating plain-language explanations for patients," the blog post stated.
OpenAI stated that the tool is not intended to act as a substitute for an actual medical practitioner's expertise and diagnosis, adding that clinicians using the application remain responsible for their decisions in the course of their work. The company also recommended independently reviewing and verifying the information that it provides to users to gauge its suitability.
The AI tool sources its answers from "millions of trusted medical sources", as per the blog post.
"Each response includes citations with titles, journals, and publication dates for fast verification," it stated.
The AI tool's system also automatically identifies the most appropriate sources as per the prompt the user sends in.

"Clinicians don't need to configure databases or filters — it selects high-quality, up-to-date evidence behind the scenes and surfaces it with transparent citations," the post said.
OpenAI further clarified that it does not use the content shared with it to train its other models.
