    How can we ensure that innovations like AI strengthen, rather than replace, the human connection at the heart of patient care?
     
    I had the opportunity to join The Future of Health Podcast with HOSA to discuss how medical education can continue to cultivate a compassionate workforce. The AAMC is working to emphasize both personal and professional competencies - not just technical knowledge, but skills like empathy, communication, and collaboration. These are not "soft skills," but essential ones that directly influence patient outcomes. Listen to the conversation: NaShieka Knight: The Future of Health Podcast Ep. 5.

    I'd love to hear how your institutions are keeping the human touch central in an AI-driven world!
