More about the Seminar: Medical records have long been more than simple repositories of information; they are central to how physicians learn, reason, and communicate. Yet in the era of electronic health records, OpenNotes, and emerging AI tools, their role as educational texts is under pressure. In this seminar, Dr. Adina Wise will trace the history of the medical note from its origins as a teaching tool to its present-day transformation, considering what may be lost and what new possibilities may emerge as patients, trainees, and even machines become medical note writers.
More about the Speaker: Adina Wise, MA, MD, is a movement disorders neurologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Her research focuses on the genetics of Parkinson's disease and dystonia, with a parallel interest in the ethics of emerging technologies in neurology, including genetic testing, brain-computer interfaces, and AI. Alongside her clinical and research work, she writes widely at the intersection of medicine and the humanities, exploring how language, narrative, and culture shape both the patient experience and the practice of neurology.
