India Is Training 1.4 Lakh Doctors a Year. What Happens Next?

Patients now walk into the consultation having already asked ChatGPT or Claude. Medical schools still teach doctors to manage disease after it has developed. So how should doctors prepare for what’s coming? In this first Tech for Doctors podcast, a UK-based clinician and a young Indian medical professional talk openly about why understanding tech is now a necessity for doctors, not a privilege, and why you don’t need to code to be part of it. In this conversation: • Why the gap between Western and Indian healthcare is narrowing • Why clinicians must validate AI tools before trusting them • How patients using AI before the consultation changes the doctor’s role • Why “go ask ChatGPT, don’t come to me” isn’t a sustainable answer • The myth that you must be a coder to work with healthcare tech • How the NHS 10-Year Health Plan is shaping care: analog to digital, hospital to community, treatment to prevention • India’s 1.4 lakh doctors a year and the new roles beyond traditional practice • How medical education in India is (and isn’t) preparing students for AI About Tech for Doctors: An initiative to help clinicians understand, shape, validate and implement healthcare technology, without needing to be a programmer. A self-paced learning app is in the works. 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on the future of healthcare. https://www.tech4doctors.co/ #TechForDoctors #HealthTech #AIinHealthcare #MedicalEducation #DigitalHealth #FutureOfMedicine
