In conclusion, it is important that primary care physicians get well versed with the future AI advances and the new unknown territory the world of medicine is heading toward.

Some studies have been documented where AI systems were able to outperform dermatologists in correctly classifying suspicious skin lesions.[18] This because AI systems can learn more from successive cases and can be exposed to multiple cases within minutes, which far outnumber the cases a clinician could evaluate in one mortal lifetime.

. In conclusion, the physicians who used documentation support such as dictation assistance or medical scribe services engaged in more direct face time with patients than those who did not use these services

Primary care physicians can use AI to take their notes, analyze their discussions with patients, and enter required information directly into EHR systems.

The Da Vinci robotic surgical system developed by Intuitive surgicals has revolutionized the field of surgery especially urological and gynecological surgeries.

Radiology is the branch that has been the most upfront and welcoming to the use of new technology.

A lot of AI is already being utilized in the medical field, ranging from online scheduling of appointments, online check-ins in medical centers, digitization of medical records, reminder calls for follow-up appointments and immunization dates for children and pregnant females to drug dosage algorithms and adverse effect warnings while prescribing multidrug combinations.

However, that means sometimes people need to give up years of training from high school, university, professional school, etc. There is a great cost in retraining the skills that are needed in the new era. They might need to potentially go to university again and accumulate more student loans which were already hard to pay back when they first did so.

It will replace jobs such as a paralegal, content writer, travel advisor, graphic designer, etc (Mok, 2023).

Is AI taking over jobs? We don’t know. Both viewpoints have their own logic that makes perfect sense.

Instead of AI replacing jobs, humans will take on more advanced decision-making jobs to increase efficiency.

Since the 2000s, automation systems have already eliminated 1.7 million jobs. This number is only going to increase as AI plays a bigger role in everyone’s lives. Some have predicted that AI is going to take away 85 million jobs by 2025 (Narayan, 2023).
