In this episode, we have Samantha Lai, a medical student as our guest. She will discuss the disparity in venture capital investment for startups led by women, and how this gap can be narrowed by encouraging female physicians to become entrepreneurs. Despite the traditional and risk-averse nature of the health care industry, it is a field where there is a relatively level playing field for women and a wealth of opportunities for innovation. Samantha explains how it affects women in male-dominated fields and how organizations like the American Medical Women's Association are working to provide a nurturing environment for female physician-entrepreneurs through events such as innovation challenges and pitch competitions. Tune in to learn more about how we can bridge the gap in gender representation in entrepreneurship and health care. Samantha Lai is a medical student. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Medical innovation: a serendipitous step toward gender equity." The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience. With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout. Burnout is caused by many factors, one of which is clinical documentation. Studies indicate physicians spend two hours documenting care for every hour spent with patients. At Nuance, we are committed to helping physicians do what you love – care for patients – and spend less time on clinical documentation. The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is an AI-powered, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational. Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
