If you are a doctor trying ChatGPT for the first time, begin with work you can comfortably review. You might organise a teaching outline, simplify approved general information or turn fictional notes into a document template. You do not have to change your whole working day. This guide describes a doctor-focused training approach that can be discussed with Parikshit Khanna. The useful skill is learning to give a clear brief and notice when the answer goes beyond it. Make room for questions and corrections during practice. An assistant can produce a convincing draft, so your own judgement and your organisation's rules must guide what happens next.
Start here
You do not need a technical background. Choose one small task, use fictional or approved public information, and check the result yourself. This guide covers a practical example, tool costs, and how guided training can help.
Start with templates you understand
For documentation practice, use a fictional case to design the structure of a note or referral template. Tell the assistant which headings to include and instruct it to leave absent details blank. Read the result against the source. This exercise teaches structure and omission checking without asking a chatbot to make clinical decisions.
For teaching, supply a short approved passage and ask for an outline for a defined audience. A student tutorial and a patient-information sheet need different language and depth. Check that simplification has not removed a condition or changed the meaning. Keep the source close enough that you can trace each important statement.
For research preparation, begin with a focused question and a small set of verified papers. Ask for an evidence table, then check the table against the papers yourself. Discuss with the trainer how to catch invented references, mixed-up study populations and claims that exceed the evidence. Practising these corrections is part of the learning.
Create a fictional referral template
Write a fictional administrative referral brief containing a receiving department, appointment request and three document names. Leave the appointment date unspecified.
Ask ChatGPT for a referral-letter template using those details only, with missing information shown as placeholders and no diagnosis or treatment advice.
Compare the draft with the brief. Check the document list and missing date, then mark which fields an authorised professional would need to complete.
Review the generated text against the original information before it enters any professional workflow. Look for added facts, missing qualifications and changed meaning. A practice template is not a signed clinical record; real documentation needs the authorised clinician's review in an approved environment.
AI and generative AI, in ordinary words
AI is the broad name for computer tools that help with tasks such as finding patterns, sorting information or making predictions. Generative AI is one kind that creates a draft of text, images or other content from an instruction. That instruction is often called a prompt. A workflow simply means the steps used to complete a task. A fluent answer can still contain mistakes.
A useful instruction says what you want, who will read it, which approved facts to use, and what must stay unchanged. For example: “Rewrite this fictional clinic notice in friendly, short sentences. Keep every date unchanged. Do not add medical advice. Flag anything unclear.”
What are Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot?
Claude is Anthropic’s AI assistant. You can ask it to draft, simplify or organise information, then review its work.
ChatGPT is OpenAI’s AI assistant. Use the same careful approach: give clear instructions, check sources, and review the draft.
Microsoft Copilot is a family of AI assistants. Personal Copilot and workplace Copilot have different access and controls. Ask IT which work account and licence your organisation has approved. Dragon Copilot is a separate healthcare product; ordinary Copilot is not a clinical system.
Free or paid: what should you choose?
Start with a free option and fictional examples. Pay only when a specific limit or feature is stopping useful work. A personal paid subscription does not automatically permit patient information. Check account controls, organisational approval and total cost before buying.
Claude reference prices checked 16 October 2026: Free is US$0 with limits; Pro is US$20 a month or US$200 billed yearly. Team Standard is US$20 per person per month billed yearly, or US$25 monthly, for 2–150 people. Taxes and local checkout terms may differ. More expensive plans are available; beginners do not need to start there.
Microsoft Copilot has a free personal version. Copilot Chat is included with eligible Microsoft 365 work plans; some agents can add usage charges. The India business page lists a first-year offer for existing eligible Microsoft 365 Business customers: ₹1,495.73 per user per month paid yearly, versus regular ₹1,745. An annual commitment is required. The qualifying base licence costs extra, and GST is extra. The offer runs 1 July–31 December 2026. Confirm renewal terms before buying.
ChatGPT has free and paid plans. Check the official plan information and your local checkout before paying; features and limits can change. Tool subscriptions are separate from workshop fees.
Draft with AI. Check it yourself. Share only after approval.
Protect patient information and keep a person responsible
For practice, leave out real names, reports, prescriptions, phone numbers, appointment lists and other identifying details. Use invented information. Before any patient information is used, your organisation should approve the tool, account, contracts, settings and workflow. Removing a name alone may not remove every identifying detail.
WHO warns that generated answers may be false, incomplete or biased. Read the original source, check dates and numbers, and have the appropriate professional approve the final text. General chatbots should not make diagnosis, treatment, dosage, triage or urgent-care decisions.
Follow AI news without feeling left behind
You do not need every new model or subscription. Pick one useful task and practise it for a week. Set aside a short weekly news-reading slot. For each announcement, ask: Is it available here? Is our organisation allowed to use it? Does it solve a task we actually have?
Two developments worth understanding: Anthropic announced Claude for Healthcare on 11 January 2026; Microsoft described Dragon Copilot expansion on 5 March 2026. These are vendor announcements with market, licence and feature limits, not proof that a general chatbot can deliver better patient outcomes.
How Parikshit Khanna’s training can help
Parikshit Khanna is an AI trainer and Founder of Digital Training Jet. A guided session gives your team time to practise clear instructions, spot mistakes, check sources and agree who approves the final work. Ask for examples based on your department’s everyday tasks and time for beginner questions.
A participant account published by OncoDaily describes learning from Parikshit at a ChatGPT and AI tools workshop for healthcare professionals held at IIT Delhi. This describes a workshop experience; it does not claim institutional endorsement or clinical certification.

Plan a session around your team’s work
Share your team’s roles, group size, preferred language, two or three repetitive tasks, approved tools and possible dates. Ask for a proposal covering practice time, take-home examples, review responsibilities and follow-up support. Workshop fees, delivery format and travel are confirmed in the proposal. Results should be measured in your own setting.
Common questions
Do I need coding skills? No. Begin with a clearly described task and a short draft you can check.
Will AI replace professional judgement? Your team remains responsible for the final output. Training focuses on careful use and review.
Should everyone buy a paid account? Start with the tools your organisation already approves. Buy additional access only for a demonstrated need.
