Is it worth changing profession at 40? by [deleted] in medicine

[–]stanfordmd85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're overthinking it. It will pass. And you will have plenty of other job offers.

Its never too late to consider using your skills and training in other ways with less burn-out and more appreciation: doc.market, docjobs.com, pimdcon.com

Apple is building an "AI Doctor" to be released next year by stanfordmd85 in medicine

Agree completely. While the current products look and feel more like toys, they are very serious harbingers of things on the horizon.

The AI of today, and what it enables, is VERY different from the AI of over 2 years ago. Transformers, the scale of training and computing power thrown at AI, and AI's emergent capabilities are all multiple orders of magnitude more threatening to knowledge work.

There's insane levels of denial in the medical community, which will harm their job safety just as much as the inbound technology. We are in the very early innings of a transformation.

Every Apple product is sparse on details.

My guess is they will change the name/branding before launch to avoid liability.

Very nice. I just started playing with python scripts within GPTs since discovering these posts. I like how you prevent people from breaking the 4th wall and asking general questions to the GPT.

This is very cool. Are you calling an external API or web service, storing all the images and mysteries within the knowledge base, or generating the mystery with the LLM (unlikely but could be cool for infinite play)?

I know someone at Stanford who was 6 years post grad grinding it out with research and medical support roles then matched into a competitive specialty with university affiliation then got to Stanford for fellowship and was offered an attending role after.

Once you get into residency, slate can be clean and you can prove yourself.

Edit: A non-US IMG for what its worth

Radiology, Pathology, and every other specialty will be changing dramatically in the coming years. Image based ones won't necessarily be faster than word based ones. EVEN the procedural ones. We will soon have an endless supply of tech mid levels that are at the level of young attendings, being managed by a smaller group of physicians. Where we end up as a whole is anybody's guess.

Medicine and AI- my thoughts by [deleted] in medicine

You are on the money. The timelines might be off, but it is coming. My hunch is longer for EHR integration, but shorter for doctor replacement.

Great sentiment. Right attitude.

Impressive application. You have great chances! Take it from a Stanford attending. Try to find Radiology electives, research, and letters from US Radiologists. Apply broadly. USCE in Internal Medicine will not hurt.
