This immersive two-day course is designed for pathologists and laboratory professionals seeking to apply large language models (LLMs) safely and effectively in clinical, research, and operational laboratory settings. Participants will build a practical foundation in LLM fundamentals, including model families, prompt engineering strategies, regulatory and privacy guardrails, and known limitations such as hallucinations and bias—framed within the realities of regulated laboratory practice.
Through hands-on, guided sessions, attendees will use LLMs to streamline common workflows across roles: drafting SOPs and policy documents, supporting academic and professional writing, generating testable research aims, triaging scientific literature and regulatory submissions, and constructing CLSI- and CAP-compliant assay validation reports. Advanced modules focus on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), enabling participants to build a secure procedure manual chatbot, connect LLMs to laboratory information systems, and automate governed processes such as critical value notifications with appropriate audit logging. The course concludes with a team-based capstone challenge in which pathologists and laboratory professionals collaborate to solve a real-world laboratory scenario using their custom-built tools. Participants will leave with role-relevant skills, reusable templates, and a governance-aware framework for responsibly integrating LLMs into diagnostic, research, and laboratory operations.
