In this episode of POMA DOes…, Sayed Arian, DO, speaks with Michelle Thompson, DO, about the growing role of artificial intelligence in clinical practice. They discuss how AI tools help physicians improve documentation, access information more efficiently, and spend more meaningful time with patients. The conversation also explores the responsibility clinicians hold when using AI, how it is shaping medical education, and why these tools are enhancing, not replacing, the art of medicine. They discuss how thoughtful use of AI can improve patient care, physician efficiency, and overall well-being. Key Takeaways:   AI is improving efficiency and documentation. Tools like AI scribes can significantly reduce time spent on notes, improve accuracy, and allow physicians to focus more on patient care.   Clinicians remain responsible. Physicians must review, verify, and take ownership of AI-generated content, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and patient trust.   AI supports, not replaces, the art of medicine.
