🧵1/ Our new study on AI and physician reasoning just came out in @ScienceMagazine. As co-senior author, I'm excited about our findings, and I do think AI will reshape medicine. But after seeing some of the discussions, I'm also worried about how our findings may be misinterpreted.

I venture into new intellectual territory taking on Alaistair Campbell's 1984 book calling for #moderatedlove to underpin medicine. It was fun discussing these emerging ideas with James from @IntellectBooks Rupal & Jens. Stayed tuned for some big news!

How we share difficult news matters. Every patient is different. Their fears, their coping, their story. Good medicine isn’t just about treatment. It’s about understanding the person in front of you.

Seven second year @unibirmingham med students recently showcased their "Money and Medicine" project at the @asmeofficial Conference! Their 3,000-word essays on financial systems & healthcare culminated in a 90 min symposium. Educators are now looking to replicate their model.
