I think this is a valid question for r/futurology

A significant proportion of the medical profession relies on diagnostics and pattern recognition (eg medical imaging scans).

These can already be done better today with AI and will ultimately reduce our reliance on highly paid humans.

That means - like coding - many of the skills we teach at HE level will become redundant in a generation.

What will survive - and be needed more in future - are the medic’s human skills eg bedside manner, empathy, care, treatment monitoring.
