I’ve always believed in the importance of access to quality healthcare for everyone. But in recent years, I've seen a growing concern that threatens that belief—a looming shortage of doctors in the United States. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), we’re facing a potential shortfall of up to 55,200 primary care doctors and specialists by 2033.

I still remember when ChatGPT first came out in 2022; it felt like this novelty, this advanced chatbot that could converse. But as the months went by, it became clear it wasn't just an experiment in a class of AIs. It was enormous and the sort of tool that would alter how we worked, thought, and built.
