Artificial intelligence demands that doctors become architects of digital health
About this episode
Family physician Tod Stillson discusses his article "Why AI in medicine elevates humanity instead of replacing it." Tod explains how his career evolution revealed that artificial intelligence is not a threat to the medical profession but a necessary tool for reshaping care delivery. He argues that physicians must actively lead the integration of AI to ensure that clinical judgment is amplified rather than overridden by automation. The conversation covers the necessity of digital fluency, the shift toward structured asynchronous data collection, and how these technologies can actually restore the human connection by relieving administrative burdens. Listen to discover why the next generation of doctors must master both stethoscopes and software to meet evolving patient expectations.
