  • Excellence Without Perfectionism: Amna Shabbir Minicast on Redefining Success in Medicine

    Excellence Without Perfectionism: Amna Shabbir Minicast on Redefining Success in Medicine
    Sep 17 2025
    In this episode, we speak with Dr. Amna Shabbir about the pervasive impact of perfectionism on physicians and high achievers. Dr. Shabbir, who is dual board-certified in internal medicine and geriatric medicine with advanced training in integrative wellbeing and behavior change, hosts the Success Reimagined podcast and recently delivered a TEDx talk on this topic. She explains the three types of perfectionism that particularly affect physicians: self-oriented ("I must be perfect"), other-oriented ("others must be perfect"), and socially prescribed ("the world demands perfection from me"). The conversation explores Dr. Shabbir's coaching philosophy, which focuses on moving from perfectionism to what she calls "excellence-ism" and making success sustainable without sacrificing wellbeing.

  • Who’s Responsible When AI Gets It Wrong? Sarah Gebauer on Medical Liability in the Age of AI

    Who’s Responsible When AI Gets It Wrong? Sarah Gebauer on Medical Liability in the Age of AI
    Aug 7 2025
    In this episode, we speak with Sarah Gebauer MD anesthesiologist and RAND Senior Researcher, who discusses the critical questions facing healthcare professionals as AI becomes integrated into clinical practice. She's the author of "Machine Learning for MDs" newsletter and published research on physician attitudes toward AI including the BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine article Survey of US physicians' attitudes and knowledge of AI. Her company Validara Health works on evaluation frameworks for healthcare AI implementation. Physicians have been using AI for EKG interpretation for decades without fully understanding the algorithms, highlighting that transparency should focus on appropriate usage rather than complete technical knowledge. Most current AI tools operate as Software as a Service rather than regulated Medical Devices, while the FDA struggles to keep pace with rapid AI development. Despite their challenging history with EHR implementation, physicians show strong interest in learning about AI when they believe it will help patients. The medical liability landscape remains uncertain until legal precedents are established through jury awards, making documentation of clinical decision-making crucial when using AI as additional information alongside other clinical data. Traditional machine learning evaluation metrics often fail to predict real-world clinical performance, where workflow integration and clinician experience prove more important than laboratory results. For professional development, busy physicians benefit most from resources that push information directly to them, such as newsletters and targeted social media follows, rather than formal courses requiring active searching.

    How Executive Chris Hare Discovered That Success Can Be Toxic - The Atomic Storytelling Solution
    Jul 31 2025
    This Visible Voices Minicast episode features Chris Hare, big tech marketer turned founder of The Storied Future, podcast host of The Storied Future, and atomic storytelling coach. Chris helps leaders navigate high-stakes transitions through vulnerable storytelling. This episode is part of the 2025 monthly minicast series focusing on coaching, recognizing that we all need help in our professional journeys and do better with support along the way. Atomic storytelling involves discovering stories that have been hidden, forgotten, or overlooked and using them as raw material to create a better future. Unlike traditional storytelling that focuses on structure and delivery, atomic storytelling asks what story should be told and disrupts limiting narratives that leaders have been telling for years.

  • AI in Healthcare: Andrew Taylor on Emergency Department and Triage Evolution

    AI in Healthcare: Andrew Taylor on Emergency Department and Triage Evolution
    Jul 24 2025
    In this episode of The Visible Voices Podcast, Dr. Resa Lewiss explores AI in healthcare with Andrew Taylor MD MHS, a Professor and Vice Chair of Research and Innovation in Emergency Medicine at the University of Virginia. Dr. Taylor shares insights from his work on AI-informed triage systems, discusses the challenges of implementing AI in hospital settings, and explains how artificial intelligence can reduce diagnostic errors while promoting fairness in emergency care. Healthcare lags behind other industries in adopting AI tools, facing unique challenges around hospital infrastructure and personnel requirements. Large language models require substantial computational resources that most traditional hospital systems lack. The persistent problem of closed electronic health record systems further complicates implementation. Healthcare typically can take 15 years to adopt new technologies, even those with proven efficacy and safety records. Publications we discuss: —Impact of Artificial Intelligence-Based Triage Decision Support on Emergency Department Care (NEJM AI) —Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Reduce Diagnostic Errors in Emergency Medicine: Challenges, Opportunities, and Future Directions (AEM) —Enhancing Emergency Department Triage Equity With Artificial Intelligence: Outcomes From a Multisite Implementation (Annals of EM) If you enjoy the show, please leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating on Apple or a 👍🏻 on YouTube.
