In 2018, the #SHMNewMexico & #SHMWiregrass chapters of @SocietyHospMed started an exchange. I helped build it.

Among US #clinicians, use of an #AI-enabled clinical information platform increased substantially over 2.5 years, with sustained use across #physician and nonphysician groups.

3 ways AI can quietly cost a trainee:
1Deskilling: losing a skill you had
2Never-skilling: never building it
3Automation bias: how to override
All three came up at UNM Grand Rounds last week. Which one do you see most?

AI is already on the wards. Who is teaching trainees?
Honored to bring that question to Department of Medicine Grand Rounds at the University of New Mexico last week, as a visiting professor.
Thank you, @UNMHospitalists, from @UTHealthHospMed. @SocietyHospMed #Howwehospitalist
