I told my product management team, do not put this in the hands of medical students. because you're synthesizing something that their brain needs to hardwire before they become physicians. So it becomes problematic that way too, in that we can, the hard work of becoming a doctor or the hard work of being an expert in anything can go away.

And that's, that's detrimental to us as a society and as a human individual. Sure. So let me, let me,

being an EMR electronic health record guy for most of my career, we had this problem with EMRs in understanding the technology. When I started, the joke was, there are some docs you're going to have to train to use a mouse. Exactly. That still exists. Right. Exactly. Not as much now, but 15 years ago? Absolutely. We had to worry about that. Yeah.

So it's going to be, I think it behooves every professional organization that's out there certifying their physicians on continuing medical education to have informatics and AI type conversations and training for those professionals. So it impacts them specifically from a trusted source that's understanding what they are.

It's more than just understanding the evolution of disease and the new tests and the new medications and those things. It's got to be this also. So on that front end, that has to be it. It has to be colleagues that are knowledgeable, CMIOs and others like myself, also being talking to folks like that's on health chatter to give them the viewpoint because I'm steeped in it every day.

So it's got to be multimodal in its approach. It's got to be, we got to blanket that across the board. Now, as we move down the spectrum from seasoned to younger individuals who have their MD, there's an advantage to helping them with things with AI, but they have to know AI is helping them. In a way that is different.

So the thing I tell people from a design perspective, which is really hard, is how do I let you know the validity of the thing I'm suggesting to you? Or how do I let you know this was created by AI? How do I give you indicators so you realize this is not another human, this is not something that was already there.

It was something that was created out of thin air, so to speak, and that's not entirely true. The knowledge and the exposure from a usability user experience perspective has to be there kind of in the workflow as well. Then as you think back into medical education, we still haven't cracked the nut on basic informatics education from a medical education perspective.

I, as a pathologist, it's part of pathology. Pathology was the first set of professionals along with radiologists that were using computers because of volume, because of those technologies. We had to be there. So I was taught that in my training. And I actually, in training residents in pathology, that was my job as well. I was the informatics guy. I was teaching them about informatics.

So we have to get back all the way into medical school and say, okay, here's your informatics course. Because Medicine is information, right? Treatment of patients is information. It has to be more than information. It has to go from data to information to knowledge in a way that's clear and open and clear cut to that person that's learning it. And they got to have the underpinning.
