ObGyn Intelligence
Practical AI skills. Critical evidence. Safer obstetric care.
Medicine is entering an era in which knowing how to use artificial intelligence will become part of being a competent clinician.
But using AI is not the same as using it well.
ObGyn Intelligence is for clinicians who want to use AI without surrendering clinical judgment.
I write about how to use AI for real clinical, academic, and teaching work, how to recognize when it is wrong, what must be independently verified, and where evidence, ethics, and patient safety must remain central.
I call this Clinical AI Competence.
AI literacy is knowing about AI. Clinical AI competence is knowing how to practice with it.
What you will find here
Practical Clinical AI
Real workflows, prompts, examples, and failures. Not simply what AI might someday do, but what clinicians can do with it now and how to do it responsibly.
Evidence Under Examination
Critical appraisal of studies, guidelines, statistics, and medical claims. What does the evidence actually show? What does it not show? And when are we claiming more certainty than the data justify?
The MedMal Room
Real-world obstetric safety and medicolegal cases examined for the clinical decisions that mattered. The purpose is not hindsight. It is prevention.
Patient Safety and Medical Ethics
Where clinical practice, professional responsibility, informed consent, technology, and patient autonomy collide.
Why ObGyn?
I am Amos Grünebaum, MD, an obstetrician-gynecologist and Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist, professor, researcher, and medical ethicist.
After decades of caring for high-risk pregnancies, teaching physicians, conducting research, and examining questions of professional responsibility, I increasingly believe that AI will profoundly change how medicine is practiced.
The important question is no longer simply whether clinicians will use AI.
It is whether they will be competent enough to use it safely.
AI can retrieve more information than any physician can remember. It can identify patterns we miss, challenge our assumptions, analyze evidence, and increasingly perform tasks that once required substantial medical expertise.
It can also be confidently wrong.
The answer is neither to reject AI nor to trust it blindly. The answer is competence.
What does Clinical AI Competence mean?
It means knowing:
what to ask;
how to ask it;
how to evaluate the answer;
what evidence supports the answer;
what must be independently verified;
when AI is likely to fail; and
when clinical judgment must override the machine.
Those skills are becoming part of modern clinical competence.
Who should subscribe?
ObGyn Intelligence is written primarily for physicians, nurses, midwives, trainees, researchers, educators, and other healthcare professionals.
My clinical lens is Obstetrics and Maternal-Fetal Medicine, but many of the lessons about AI, evidence, safety, and professional responsibility apply throughout medicine.
Patients and other interested readers are welcome too.
Free and paid subscriptions
Free subscribers receive practical clinical AI lessons and selected articles on evidence, obstetric safety, and medical practice.
Paid subscribers receive the deeper analyses, including MedMal Room cases, advanced AI workflows, critical evidence reviews, and access to the full ObGyn Intelligence archive.
I do not believe essential safety information should be hidden behind a paywall. Paid membership supports the deeper work and allows me to keep much of ObGyn Intelligence available to everyone.
One principle guides this publication
AI should make clinicians better, not merely faster.
That requires more than access to increasingly powerful models.
It requires Clinical AI Competence.
Subscribe to ObGyn Intelligence and learn how to use AI, evidence, and clinical judgment to practice safer medicine.
