How I Doctor with Dr. Graham Walker AI Tools for Doctors: Fact vs. Fiction with Dr. Spencer Dorn
Dr. Spencer Dorn, a gastroenterologist, informatics physician, and professor at UNC, is passionate about the intersection of technology and healthcare. Spencer, who frequently writes about AI for Forbes, is helping to shape the conversation around real-world applications of AI in medicine, and how AI can complement (rather than replace) physicians.
In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker talks with Spencer — his longtime friend — about how AI is being used in medicine now, and where it has the most potential going forward. Artificial intelligence and machine learning tools have been part of healthcare for a while, from EKG analysis to clinical documentation. But what does the next chapter look like? And what are the biggest misconceptions about AI’s impact on doctors, patients, and the healthcare system? Their conversation also covers AI literacy standards for doctors and how to incorporate AI into medical training.
This episode is a crash course on AI in medicine — what’s already happening, where things are heading, and how physicians should feel about AI’s expanding role.
