We loved meeting Lana from Reach Out and Read today at our Uptown Pediatrics site visit!

This year marks 20 years of Uptown Peds as a proud Reach Out and Read grant recipient. We’re so grateful to be part of a program that recognizes how powerful early literacy can be for children and families.

Through Reach Out and Read, we’re able to provide developmentally appropriate books to many of our families and talk about the importance of reading aloud from infancy. Even just a few minutes of shared reading each day makes a difference.

A new study published at the beginning of February found that using AI for medical decision-making is no better than using internet searches. Despite AI's solid performance when given complete medical scenarios and simulated patient interactions, when used by actual people in the general public, AI is largely unsuccessful at providing sound medical advice.

To read the full study published in Nature, search "Reliability of LLMs as medical assistants for the general public: a randomized preregistered study." The New York Times also wrote an article about the study, titled "Health Advice From A.I. Chatbots Is Frequently Wrong, Study Shows."
