Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 117: The Evolving Physician Career: Rethinking the Traditional Path
Q: And what did you imagine your career would look like at the time?
I imagined a traditional trajectory with a full clinical career, but as I progressed I discovered other possibilities beyond the standard path that allowed more flexibility and control over my life and work.
Episode 117: The Evolving Physician Career: Rethinking the Traditional Path
Q: I thought we would start and lay the foundation with this question. A lot of us enter medicine expecting a fairly linear career path. When you were finishing residency, what drew you to pediatrics?
I was drawn to pediatrics because I connected with children and found the field energetically appealing; early experiences made me realize the specialty fit my interests and the kind of patient interactions I valued.
Episode 116: After the Diagnosis What Matters Most in Autism Care
Q: If you had to describe PRT in one minute to a busy pediatrician, what would you say it is and is not?
PRT is an evidence-based form of ABA that uses play-based, child-directed approaches to improve pivotal skills like motivation and initiation, allowing broad improvements across development; it's not a cure or a quick fix, but it empowers both the child and caregivers.
Episode 114: Emerging Technology Mini-Series: AI as a Thinking Partner in Medicine
Q: How can we ensure that AI outputs are consistent and trustworthy?
Reliability of AI can be tested through randomized control trials to evaluate outcomes in a clinical setting.
Episode 114: Emerging Technology Mini-Series: AI as a Thinking Partner in Medicine
Q: What do you see as the biggest technical or institutional hurdles to applying AI in the clinic today?
The biggest barrier is not technical but related to incentives and policy in the healthcare system.
