Medical training needs to change to adapt to the future. How will technology affect that? Dr. Monica Lypson, Vice-Dean of Education at Columbia’s medical school, reflects on how to best educate the next generation of clinicians to not only interpret a vast amount of highly technical information, but also deliver it in a personalized communication-style. She discusses ideas on how to promote an equitable and diverse healthcare system focused on health instead of disease with Health2049 podcast co-host Jason Helgerson.
