HIMSSCast: How an MD/MS in AI dual degree could change health IT leadership

Artificial intelligence in medical education is indeed a whole new subject. But an educator doctor faces a full vapor of the AI.

Dr. Ronald Rodriguez is MD / MS program director in double diploma in artificial intelligence at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. New doctors have obtained a good understanding of what AI can do to help clinicians – and what it cannot do.

In this week’s HimssSCAST, Rodriguez explains how he and his team broaden the program beyond medical students in additional health colleges, how AI is already reshaping daily health operations and how the team prepares professionals for this change, the role of community commitment plays in its strategy to build mastery of AI, and much more.
