USA vs. UK: ASGBI Ep. 8 - Are we going to be replaced?

Welcome back to our BTK/ASGBI Series! During this series, BTK fellow Agnes Premkumar and ASGBI hosts Jared Wohlgemut and Gita Lingam compare and contrast various aspects of surgery between the United States and the United Kingdom, debating who does what better. We are happy to be continuing our AI discussion further with another episode. While last episode lay a foundation on discussing the unique differences in the role and regulation of AI in both these countries, now we delve into some of the clinical challenges. What does AI and the future of surgery look like in underserved locations such as the battlefield or the rural communities. What does this mean for our future as surgeons…will we be replaced? And how should we address the integration of AI within our practices? We are thrilled to have our trio of experts discussing this further. Dr. Nelson is a surgical oncologist working at the Brook Army Medical Center in San Antonio, he's very interested in expanding the role of AI within surgical education and beyond. Dr. Larson is a general surgery resident at the Mayo Clinic. She's currently in her research time and finishing up her master's degree in AI and studying the role of machine learning within surgical practice. Dr. Mukherjee is a surgeon scientist alongside an Honorary Consultant General & Major Trauma Surgeon in Liverpool, England. His current research bridges academia with industry and is aimed at transforming the treatment of critical illness through the development of next-generation therapies for pancreatitis-induced acute lung injury through the utilisation of cutting-edge AI driven drug discovery approaches. Take a listen and let us know what you think! References:Johns’ Hopkins Ex-Vivo Cholecystectomy by a Robothttps://hub.jhu.edu/2025/07/09/robot-performs-first-realistic-surgery-without-human-help/Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.  If you liked this episode, check out our recent episodes here: https://behindtheknife.org/listenBehind the Knife Premium:General Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/general-surgery-oral-board-reviewTrauma Surgery Video Atlas: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/trauma-surgery-video-atlasDominate Surgery: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Clerkship: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-clerkshipDominate Surgery for APPs: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Rotation: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-for-apps-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-rotationVascular Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/vascular-surgery-oral-board-audio-reviewColorectal Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/colorectal-surgery-oral-board-audio-reviewSurgical Oncology Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/surgical-oncology-oral-board-audio-reviewCardiothoracic Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/cardiothoracic-surgery-oral-board-audio-reviewDownload our App:Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/behind-the-knife/id1672420049Android/Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.btk.app&hl=en_US
