You’ve Got a Scribe. Now What? The Next Phase of AI in Veterinary Practice
Aaron Massecar, PhD, MBA
Head of Partnerships, CoVet
AI scribes went from novelty to routine in two years. The 2026 AAHA/Digitail survey found AI use in veterinary practice more than doubled since 2024, with clinical documentation leading every other application. But adoption is not the same as results: practices that run AI deliberately report roughly six times as many benefits as those that simply added a tool. This session looks at what comes after the basics. We will cover how to get more out of AI documentation, what professional responsibility looks like as AI moves closer to clinical decisions, and where scribing is heading next, from decision support and front desk integration to clinical education. Attendees will leave with practical steps they can apply in their practice tomorrow and a clear view of the questions the profession still needs to answer.
