Committee Picks:

This week some of our committee would like to spotlight articles from our archive that we think are worth a read.

The Science of Care: On Jane Goodall’s Legacy - Adiyat Zahir

Every week I hear talk about needing research for a medical portfolio, or a new method for collecting systematic reviews. It is exhausting. This article combats the landscape of heartless research by showing the value of a human approach. Dr Jane Goodall embraced and embodied her principles in a way the world should hope to emulate.

‘AI Psychosis’: The Digital Parrot Problem - Harshitaa Sendhilkumar

A really interesting look into how AI exacerbates certain pscyhatric conditions due to the nature of it “yes-man-ship”. It also looks at how we give robots the responsibility of humans with none of its ownership. A good reminder that AI is at its core artificial, regardless of how intelligent it may appear.

Word of the Issue: Sonder - Daniella Baruch

Something I’ve thought about a lot, but put into words more nicely than I ever could have. It’s a lovely exploration of our place in patient’s lives, and the new dynamics encountered in clinical years. A good reminder that medical school is more than the theory we learn, and the importance of empathy in a clinical setting.
