Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Jason D. Greenwood, M.D., M.S. Artificial intelligence is currently one of the most commonly discussed topics, but how does it relate to the practice of medicine? According to a recent publication in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, “AI has the potential to fundamentally change the way society thinks about medicine, the way medicine is practiced, and the way medicine is taught.” That’s a pretty all-encompassing statement regarding the effect AI will have on what we do. Is AI beneficial to us as clinicians? Are there challenges associated with it? What are its shortcomings? In this podcast, I’ll be asking my guest, Jason D. Greenwood, M.D., M.S., a family physician at the Mayo Clinic these questions and as we discuss Artificial Intelligence in Medicine in this two-part release on July 9 and July 11 this week! Connect with the Mayo Clinic’s School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd.
