Pharmacotherapy and AI: Beyond the Fear, Towards Collaboration - Ep 185

Host Dr. Tom Lodise interviews Dr. Marc Scheetz about his Pharmacotherapy editorial, “AI in ID Pharmacy: We Should Not Be Afraid to Put the CAR (Not the Cart) Before the Horse,” discussing how AI is already mainstream and increasingly used in healthcare.
