Scheduling shifts and coverage is a time-consuming and complex process. There are many constraints, both personal and professional as well as departmentally. I tried to discuss this problem with ChatGPT today to come up with a potential solution to this issue.

I'm going on the academic job market this fall, focused on research into knowledge and structure-augmented representation learning for health and biomedical data. Please reach out if there's a possible match with your departments or with other opportunities!

What a pleasure to chat with the inimitable Atul Butte today for NEJM AI Grand Rounds. Sneak preview below with Atul holding a quote with his attitude towards credit assignment; episode coming soon!

Highly recommend this fascinating NEJM AI podcast episode featuring Ziad Obermeyer discussing the future of medical AI, with a focus on tackling bias in AI models, choosing meaningful problems to solve, and cultivating interdisciplinary expertise: ai-podcast.nejm.org/e/the-double-e…

Medicine is inherently multimodal.

Thrilled to share Med-PaLM M, the first demonstration of a generalist multimodal biomedical AI system with a stellar team Google AI Google DeepMind Google Health

Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2307.14334…

Unsurprisingly insightful take by Ziad on algorithmic bias (esp. est. total cost vs preventable cost) BUT I was nerd sniped by his trajectory [history+philosophy]->management consulting->medical school. Counterexample to the narrative of soul-sucking burnout. Worth discussing.

I really enjoyed our conversation with the one and only Ziad Obermeyer
