How will AI change clinical practice and healthcare, and how will it impact the patient experience? Who are the people pushing for change and what are their goals? These are just a few of the topics that we hope to explore on NEJM AI Grand Rounds, a new podcast from NEJM Group. This podcast will be an informal conversation with a variety of unique experts exploring the deep issues at the intersection of artificial intelligence and medicine. Whether you are an AI researcher or a practicing clinician, we hope these conversations will enlighten and surprise you as we journey through this very exciting field.

Hi, I’m Raj Manrai. I’m an assistant professor of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School and a co-host of NEJM AI Grand Rounds. I’m fascinated by both the growing abilities of AI and by medical decision making.  I am excited about an AI enabled future in medicine that rests on strong clinical evidence.

I’m Andy Beam, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health and cohost. I’ve been interested in AI for as long as I can remember, and I’m so excited that we're starting to see real progress on important medical problems.

NEJM AI Grand Rounds will be launching in mid-December, and we hope you are as excited as we are to have this important discussion. Follow us now on Apple, Spotify, Google, or wherever you find your podcasts.
