April 2026 President's Message April 21, 2026 Leadership, RCMA, RCMA/CMA President's Message, RCMA 0 Dear Colleagues, In conversations with many of you, one topic continues to come up: how quickly AI is entering our practices, and what it means for how we care for patients. Like many of you, I see both the opportunity and the uncertainty that comes with it. That’s why RCMA is bringing you practical, real-world AI education this spring to help you understand what’s here today and confidently apply it in your practice. Below are three upcoming programs designed to provide timely, relevant insight into AI in healthcare: Event Date Overview 3rd Annual Healthcare AI Conference April 10, 2026 A conference featuring experts exploring AI’s impact on patient care, efficiency, and innovation. Managing Risks in the AI Era (Webinar) May 14, 2026 Learn how to identify legal, ethical, and patient safety risks while safely integrating AI into your practice. Integrating AI in Your Medical Practice May 16, 2026 A hands-on program covering AI fundamentals, tool evaluation, and implementation strategies for clinical workflows. Advocacy remains equally important. On April 8, RCMA leaders will be in Sacramento for CMA Legislative Advocacy Day, where we meet directly with state lawmakers to represent Riverside County physicians. This work, made possible by RIVPAC,ensures our voice is heard where decisions are made. I encourage you to support these efforts here by donating to RIVPAC today. Finally, I invite you to join your colleagues and me at our Spring Social Mixer on May 7. With great weather, great food, and even better company, it’s the perfect way to reconnect. I hope to see you there. REGISTER HERE & see you there. Warm regards, Benjamin Mahdi, M.D. 2026 President Riverside County Medical Association Comments are closed.
