AI, Medical Training, and Healthcare’s Future w/ Dr. Marschall Runge

Welcome to HealthTech Check Up!  Hosts Rachelle Galant and Perry Dimas sit down with Dr. Marshall Runge — former Dean of the University of Michigan Medical School, former CEO of Michigan Medicine, and current Special Advisor to the Executive Vice President for Medical Affairs. Dr. Runge shares how his early cardiology training sparked a lifelong fascination with medical technology, and why he believes AI is becoming one of the most transformative tools in both healthcare delivery and medical education.He breaks down the real promise of AI as a powerful “knowledge engine,” why medical students are both excited and over-reliant on it, and what it will take to responsibly integrate AI assistants into patient care.The discussion expands into the future of training physicians, the need to shorten medical education without compromising quality, and how AI tutors, wearables, and personalized health tools could transform both professional training and personal health habits. Dr. Runge also dives into the surprising importance of sleep, the emerging science of aging, and how everyday behaviors — steps, exercise, diet — influence long-term health.From AI-assisted learning and clinical decision support to the future of telehealth, wearables, and sleep optimization, Dr. Runge offers a candid, forward-looking view of how technology will shape the next chapter of medicine.Subscribe to HealthTech Check Up to stay up to date on where tech meets care, and leave us a review if you’re enjoying the show!—-------Keep in touch with our hosts, Rachelle Galant and Perry Dimas on Linkedin! To learn more about careviso, visit, www.careviso.com
