The rise of artificial intelligence is accelerating shifts in healthcare, shining a light on clinical education gaps, and forcing private practices to reexamine the balance between sustainability and human-centered operations. In this episode, host Lauren Mason, PhD, sits down with Dr. Samuel White, Doctor of Optometry at Complete Family Vision Care in San Diego, to explore what academic programs leave out about the business of healthcare, and why keeping human judgment at the center of patient care remains essential in an AI era.
In this episode:
The friction between clinical academic training and real-world workforce realities
The nuanced pressures small business owners face around integrating AI tools into operations
The role of specialization in addressing modern patient needs, including screen-driven childhood myopia
