These are exciting times for the future of radiation oncology, according to Sheila Rege, MD, FACRO, a community faculty member at the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine.
Dr. Rege spoke with CancerNetwork, home of the journal Oncology, about how technological advances are shaping patient care and medical education—from wearable devices to ChatGPT—and what aspects of patient care will always remain human.
“We can’t ever get rid of the human in learning,” Dr. Rege told the journal. “For the trainees in radiation oncology and accreditation for clinics, we’ve got to make sure that physicians create the guardrails and the governance for how technology should be implemented safely, to help the patients and to help trainees learn.”
