Google Meet • Screen-share • Personalized to your specialty • No generic AI lecture
This is designed for doctors, surgeons, residents, fellows, researchers, and academic clinicians who want practical AI workflows—not hype, not theory, and not generic productivity advice.
The problem
Most clinicians know AI is useful, but they are unsure how to use it safely and consistently.
You may already be thinking about questions like:
- Can AI help me write faster without compromising accuracy?
- Which tools are actually worth using?
- How do I avoid sharing patient-identifiable information?
- Can I use AI for patient education, research, presentations, and teaching?
- Can I build a small tool for my own workflow without becoming a software engineer?
The goal of this session is simple: take one real workflow from your life and improve it practically.
Main offer: AI Workflow Audit
60-minute personalized 1:1 session
This is the best starting point for most clinicians.
You bring one workflow you want to improve. We screen-share, break it down, identify where AI can help, and create a practical workflow that you can start using immediately.
Common workflows include:
- clinic letters and referral letters
- patient education handouts
- discharge instructions
- literature review and PubMed screening
- manuscript outlines and reviewer responses
- research protocols and ethics drafts
- lecture slides and resident teaching material
- case presentation preparation
- personal knowledge management
- small clinical or academic automation ideas
What you get after one session
After the audit, you should leave with:
- a simple map of your current workflow
- 3–5 realistic AI opportunities in that workflow
- a reusable prompt pack customized to your use case
- a privacy-aware checklist for safe AI use
- recommended tools for your specific need
- one improved workflow that you can reuse after the session
AI should support clinical, academic, and administrative work. It should not replace clinical judgment, independent verification, or institutional privacy policies.
Example outcomes
Instead of learning AI abstractly, we work on concrete outputs.
| Your current problem | What we can build together |
|---|---|
| “I spend too much time preparing patient information.” | A reusable patient-handout workflow with safety checks and plain-language formatting. |
| “I want to write manuscripts faster.” | A manuscript workflow: question → outline → methods draft → tables → cover letter → reviewer response template. |
| “I need to prepare teaching slides quickly.” | A lecture-building workflow with slide outline, speaker notes, diagrams, and quiz questions. |
| “I have research data in Excel.” | A practical analysis plan with clean variables, summary tables, and next-step Python/R suggestions. |
| “I want to build a simple clinical AI tool.” | A starter plan for a Streamlit, Next.js, or no-code prototype depending on your skill level. |
Who this is for
This is useful if you are a:
- surgeon or physician trying to reduce repetitive writing work
- resident or fellow managing clinical work, presentations, and research
- academic clinician preparing manuscripts, grants, protocols, or lectures
- program director or educator interested in safe AI use for trainees
- clinician with an idea for a small AI tool but unsure where to start
This is not ideal if you are looking for passive video lectures only. The value is in working on your real workflow live.

Why learn this from me?
I am a neurosurgeon with hands-on experience building AI, software, research, and education workflows for clinicians.
You are not learning generic “AI productivity.” You are learning how to apply AI to real medical work: clinical writing, patient communication, research, teaching, literature review, statistics, and simple tool-building.
The advantage is the combination:
- clinical background
- surgical workflow understanding
- research and academic writing experience
- practical programming and AI implementation experience
- ability to translate technical tools into clinician-friendly systems
Safe AI use in medicine
A core part of the session is learning where AI fits safely and where it does not.
We will emphasize:
- no patient-identifiable information in public tools
- de-identification before using AI systems
- verification of all clinical and scientific claims
- citation checking for research outputs
- clear separation between drafting assistance and clinical decision-making
- alignment with your institutional privacy and documentation policies
This service is educational and workflow-focused. It is not medical, legal, privacy, billing, or institutional compliance advice.
FAQ
Do I need prior AI experience?
No. If you are new to AI, start with the fit call or Level 1. If you already use ChatGPT, we can move directly into workflow design.
Do I need to share patient data?
No. We can work with de-identified examples, simulated cases, public papers, or your own non-identifiable workflow material.
Is this only for surgeons?
No. The examples are surgeon-friendly because of my background, but the workflow approach works for physicians, residents, fellows, dentists, researchers, therapists, and other healthcare professionals.
Can this help with research and publications?
Yes. We can build workflows for study ideas, PubMed screening, manuscript outlines, abstracts, tables, reviewer responses, and presentation preparation. Every output still needs expert verification.
Can you help me build an app or AI tool?
Yes, especially through Level 4. We can start with a realistic small prototype such as a Streamlit app, data dashboard, literature pipeline, or patient education generator.
Do you offer group workshops?
Yes. Department, resident, fellowship, and academic group workshops can be arranged by email.
Ready to discuss your workflow?
The easiest next step is a short fit call. Bring one workflow that currently wastes your time.
Examples:
- “I want to write patient handouts faster.”
- “I want to make research manuscripts more efficient.”
- “I want to create better teaching slides.”
- “I want to automate part of my literature review.”
- “I want to build a simple clinical AI prototype.”
