This article is the first in a series of five that looks at the broad dimensions of AI within the context of healthcare in general and otolaryngology where apt. This first article describes basic principles of AI and how these technologies are currently used in healthcare.
Understanding the three phases of research can help principal investigators encourage trainees to successfully complete research projects.
Bruce A. Scott, MD, the new president-elect of the American Medical Association, has spent much of his professional career volunteering with the association.
