I had a great time in Norfolk, Virginia, attending and presenting at the #ACVR2024 annual scientific meeting. One of my sessions was on #OneHealth and #AI. In short, the message I hoped to transmit was as follows.

Poll for my #medphys peeps out there... Would you consider a 'research sabbatical' at a veterinary radiation oncology center? The catch is you'd have to do both patient and machine QA. The bonus is you'd get a 'stipend.'

14%No.. that is crazy
57%...depends ...

Epic Systems makes the dominant electronic health record (EHR) system in America; if you're a doctor, chances are you're *required* to use it. For each hour a doctor spends with a patient, they spend *two* hours on clinically useless bureaucratic data-entry on an Epic EHR. 1/
