Summary

Medicine is becoming too complex for any one clinician to keep up with alone. AI may soon change that equation. Dr. Francisco Esteva joins Dr. Sanjay Juneja and Dr. Doug Flora to explain how physicians can use AI to research faster, communicate more clearly with patients, automate repetitive work, and build systems that extend their expertise. Francisco began learning these tools around age 60. Today, he's building AI-powered workflows for patient education, YouTube, research, quality control, and automation. You don't have to become an AI expert. But understanding how to use these tools may soon become an essential clinical skill.
