Summary
In this episode, we delve into all things artificial intelligence (AI) within surgery. Both the US and the UK have unique approaches to managing AI within healthcare and our experts help break down these key similarities and differences. We will discuss what AI and machine learning means, what does regulation look like in both these regions, and how is AI being used in both these countries.
We are fortunate to have two representatives, Dr. Nelson and Dr. Larson, representing the US side. 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.
We are fortunate to have Dr. Mukherjee representing the UK side. Dr. Mukherjee is a surgeon scientist alongside an Honorary Consultant General & Major Trauma Surgeon in Liverpool, England. He has a strong track record in research that spans the translational spectrum, with strengths in discovery science related to acute pancreatitis pathophysiology and mitochondrial injury, novel in vitro and in vivo experimental assay development and clinical translational research, including novel biomarker studies and clinical trials. He has won multiple awards, most recently the Hunterian Professorship 2024 from the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
