Ep 67: The AI Revolution and Dermatology with Stanford's Dr Zhuo Ran Cai

JCMS: Author Interviews & Editor's Choice with Dr Kirk Barber (Listen and earn CME credit)

"Recent research proved that ChatGPT shows more empathy when they reply to patient messages than real physicians."

Today we’ll be talking about a truly fascinating topic, something that is really front and center in medicine, academia and almost every walk of life, Artificial Intelligence.

What is AI? What are its benefits and dangers? How will it change the way we work and live, and practice as dermatologists and academics.

We’re lucky to have as our guest someone who is doing a lot of ground breaking work and thinking on this topic.

Dr Zhuo Ran Cai is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Dermatology at Stanford University.

There he focuses on cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, remote monitoring of cutaneous conditions in older adults, and explainable artificial intelligence in dermatology.

He received his medical degree from the University of Montreal. After graduation he completed his dermatology residency training at the University of Montreal Hospital Center and Sainte-Justine Hospital Center.
