Join Stephen J. Foley, a medical student, as we dive into the intriguing parallels between the world of baseball and the field of medicine. Discover how skills from the baseball diamond translate to the hospital wards, and explore the importance of adaptability, versatility, and teamwork in both domains. Stephen shares personal anecdotes and insights that shed light on the unique dynamics of medical training, all while drawing captivating comparisons to America’s favorite pastime.

Stephen J. Foley is a medical student.

He discusses the KevinMD article, “September in medicine: scouting season for future doctors.”

Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.

Together, Microsoft and Nuance are leveraging their rich digital technology and advanced AI capabilities to tackle some of health care’s biggest challenges. AI-driven technology promises to revolutionize patient and provider experiences with clinical documentation that writes itself.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is a voice-enabled solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. DAX Copilot combines proven conversational and ambient AI with the most advanced generative AI in a mobile application that integrates directly with your existing workflows.

Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 85 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Discover AI-powered clinical documentation that writes itself. Visit https://nuance.com/daxinaction to see a 12-minute DAX Copilot demo.
