Most conversations about AI in medical education are led by faculty. This one isn't. Hailee Rochon, a registered nurse and a student in the University of Calgary's Master of Physician Assistant…
Hailey RochonGuestJesselyn HolodynskiHostI have a guest today that I'm very excited about, and my guest is Hailey Rochon.
Hailey is a registered nurse, and she's now training as a physician assistant in the University of Calgary's Master of Physician Assistant Studies program.
Her nursing career has taken her across a wide stretch of healthcare, fertility and maternity care, mental health and addictions, infectious illness.
The common thread across this is work with patients who are often vulnerable and who depend on a clinician paying close attention to them.
Haley actually got in touch with us because she wanted to talk about how she's been using AI in her own learning.
She comes to it as someone who went looking for what these tools could do rather than waiting to be told what to do.
That's a different starting point than some other voices we've heard on AI Rounds so far.
So you reached out specifically because you wanted to share how you've been using AI in your studies.
Yeah, I would say specifically, I listened to your episode with another student on the podcast and just what I thought everyone was using AI really similarly.
Now, obviously, sharing all perspectives, as you mentioned, is super important.
So I thought maybe having a student as a more clinical facing student, it would be interesting to see how I'm using AI to inform faculty of maybe a different perspective of what students are currently doing.
So why don't you walk us through a typical study week for you? Where does AI show up in how you're preparing, reviewing, or working through materials?
