Join us for a conversation with George M. Abraham, former president of the American College of Physicians (2021-2022) and a professor of medicine. We’ll explore the vital role of international medical graduates (IMGs) in the U.S. health care system. Discover how IMGs enhance cultural competence, improve access to care in underserved areas, and contribute to academic medicine and research. George shares his perspectives on the challenges IMGs face, their impact on internal medicine, and strategies to ensure equal opportunities within the physician workforce.

George M. Abraham, MD, MPH was ACP’s president for 2021-2022, is a professor of medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, chief of medicine at Saint Vincent Hospital, and adjunct professor of medicine at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Services in Worcester, Mass.

He discusses the KevinMD article, “Everyone under the big tent: the international medical graduate.”

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.
