ChatGPT Announces a New Version for Clinicians


 

Making ChatGPT better for clinicians

Open AI just introduced ChatGPT for clinicians.  This is a free version for healthcare providers. The tool will be free for doctors, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in the US.  Below is a post from the OpenAI blog about the new system.  If you'd like to read the full version of this announcement directly from the company, follow this link.  


We’re introducing ChatGPT for Clinicians, a version of ChatGPT designed to support clinical tasks like documentation and medical research so clinicians can focus on delivering high-quality patient care. We’re making it free for any verified physician, NP, PA, or pharmacist, starting in the U.S.

The U.S. healthcare system today is under extraordinary strain. Clinicians are being asked to care for more patients while managing growing administrative demands and a rapidly expanding body of medical research. Many are already turning to AI tools like ChatGPT for support. According to a 2026 survey by the American Medical Association⁠(opens in a new window), physician use of AI is now at an all-time high, with 72% of physicians reporting they now use AI in clinical practice, up from 48% last year. Today, millions of clinicians worldwide use ChatGPT to support their clinical care every week, for applications like care consult, writing and documentation, and medical research. Clinician usage of ChatGPT has more than doubled over the past year.

As demand for AI in clinical settings grows, so does the responsibility to continuously improve our model’s performance and safety on clinical use cases and offer solutions that can safely and effectively support healthcare workflows. Earlier this year, we introduced ChatGPT for Healthcare,⁠ which allows organizations to deploy ChatGPT to clinicians, administrators, and researchers with the compliance and controls they need at scale. Clinicians across leading U.S. health systems are now using it to move faster through administrative work like medical research and documentation, and get time back for patient care.

Enabling free access to ChatGPT for Clinicians is the next step, in support of our mission to ensure AGI benefits all of humanity. Learn more on our website⁠(opens in a new window) or get started⁠(opens in a new window).

ChatGPT for Clinicians builds on our foundation of continual model evaluation and improvement in health in partnership with clinicians. With its release, we are also introducing HealthBench Professional⁠(opens in a new window), an open benchmark for real clinician chat tasks across three use cases: care consult, writing and documentation, and medical research, building on HealthBench’s⁠ broader evaluation of health conversations.
