I'm a fourth-year medical student in Melbourne, Australia, with interests in CS and AI.
In 'Preparing the healthcare workforce
to deliver the digital future', Eric Topol suggests that "education providers should ensure genomics, data analytics and AI are prominent in undergraduate curricula for healthcare professionals."
But there isn't much out there on what specifically should be taught to future doctors. I see much of the benefit of AI to be in freeing up time for the clinician to devote to direct, human patient care. So how much technical background would be of use to the doctor?
What would you like the doctor - who is using your tools - to know?
