MD and PA students reflect on what AI gets right—and what still makes them nervous.

“How are you using AI in med school?” That’s the question Dave posed to his co-hosts this week. Near-M3s Fallon Jung and Amanda Litka and almost-PA3 Julie Vuong discuss AI-fueled study sessions, and Dave points out a Google tool that turns docs into knowledge. They talk about what helps, what haunts, and what might accidentally erase their clinical instincts. Meanwhile, Fallon admits to looking to a robot to plan a bachelorette party. Amanda wants to ditch the white coat. And strong mints and clementines are the secret to surviving 3AM bowel resections. Also on the docket: what they’ve learned in their first few months seeing patients, OB night shift scaries, and which specialist they’d rather be stranded on an island with.

Understanding others begins with asking questions.

  • M3 Jacob Hansen, and M1s Taryn O’Brien, Alex Nigg, and Fallon Jung consider recent studies highlighting the ineffectiveness of traditional implicit bias training and the disparities in medical care for children of color.
  • Jacob successfully finished Step 1 and the co-hosts tap him for some of his insights from clinical rotations, particularly learning he won’t be pursuing a career in surgery.
  • Dave tries to understand an important aspect of med student culture using his Gen X brain: memes, including their potential as educational tools.
