AI is showing up everywhere in medicine, from symptom checkers to lab summaries, and I often hear clinicians wonder where that leaves us.    In this episode, I share how I see technology as a helpful partner while holding firm to the truth that no algorithm can replace the trust, empathy, and presence our patients deserve. My own journey from burnout to building a practice rooted in connection has shown me that we carry a kind of medicine AI will never touch. Can a computer sit with someone in grief? Can it notice the subtle shift in tone or energy that tells you more than lab results ever could? I want you to think about how you bring your humanity into care, how you amplify the qualities that make your practice unique, and how AI might support rather than overshadow your role as a healer and entrepreneur.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 AI in Healthcare and Human Connection   05:01 How Clinicians Use AI in Practice   07:06 The Limitations of AI in Medicine   09:30 Unique Human Abilities in Patient Care   13:02 Translating Science Into Soul-Aligned Action   16:14 Building a Human-Centered Practice   20:31 Celebrating Patient Wins and Progress   26:06 Catalyst Question: What AI Can’t Do in Medicine     Links The Catalyst Studio   Episodes about AI: Episode 57: ChatGPT For Health and Wellness Content Marketing Episode 58: Providers Regaining Their Time and Sanity With the Help of Virtual Scribes and Virtual Assistants Episode 106: The Future of Charting With AI – Dr. Lara Salyer   Episodes about creating a welcoming atmosphere: Episode 46: Front Office Makeover With the Aha!
