CORA is built specifically for cardiothoracic surgeons, offering:

• Evidence-Based Information: Using STS vetted educational content, responses are grounded in the latest research and clinical practice documents, enhancing accuracy and relevance when compared to generative AI tools that are trained on the entire public-facing internet.
• Tailored Expertise: CORA’s knowledge is specific to the field of cardiothoracic surgery, providing insights directly applicable to members’ practices.
   

1. Be Specific: The more specific your question, the more targeted and relevant CORA’s response can be. Ask one question at a time and then follow-up questions. 
2. Provide Context: If your question is about a particular scenario, subject, or problem, giving a brief background can help CORA understand the situation better and tailor her response accordingly.
3. Clarify Your Need: Whether it's advice, explanations, or resources, being clear about what you need helps CORA provide the most appropriate response.
4. Practical Application: Need help with developing a presentation? Leading your resident rounds? Need to study for the TSDA In-Training Exam or the Boards? CORA can generate questions to help study!
5. Semantic Search: CORA is built on semantic search technology that understands the broader context of your questions, delivering concise, meaningful summaries and insights, ensuring members can grasp complex topics efficiently and effectively.
