    BEST MOMENTS

    "AI will not replace healthcare professionals. But those healthcare professionals with AI literacy who know how to use it wisely, safely, and strategically, will inevitably replace those without it."

    "This AI series is for healthcare professionals who want time back without cutting corners, researchers who want cleaner evidence, briefs, and faster iteration."

    "Never put live identifiable data into public models. You would need to redact, anonymize, and use the minimum necessary information."

    "Dictating helps you get thoughts out faster and more naturally. Tools like Whisper are particularly useful."

    "If you felt a small breath of relief at the thought of a consistent letter or a stewardship brief, good, that's a point, not fireworks at the beginning."
