Listeners will hear specific discussions on integrating AI into the daily administrative and clinical workflows of a practice, from managing notes and scheduling to exploring ethical considerations for client interactions. Kym approaches the topic without hype, focusing on tangible applications that can save time, reduce burnout, and allow practitioners to focus more on the human element of their work. Each episode aims to demystify complex concepts, translating them into clear steps that can be implemented regardless of one's technical starting point. The tone is collaborative and curious, acknowledging the rapid evolution of these tools while prioritizing client care and professional integrity.
