How to Build a Full Literature Review Workflow With Claude in Under an Hour

Literature reviews are among the most time-consuming tasks in academic medicine. A thorough review of a clinical topic for a manuscript introduction, a grand rounds presentation, or a guideline commentary can take days of searching, reading, and synthesizing. Most clinicians simply do not have days to spare, which means literature reviews are often less thorough than they should be, or they are delegated entirely to trainees whose clinical judgment for filtering relevance is still developing.

AI does not eliminate the need for literature review. But it can compress the most time-consuming parts of the process dramatically. This course describes a complete literature review workflow that uses Claude at every stage where AI adds genuine value, while keeping human clinical judgment in the places where it is irreplaceable.
