It really doesn't matter if the model is 100x more efficient than doctors, it will go nowhere. Anything that threatens the stability of the medical professionals will face so many legal challenges that even deep pocket companies won't stand a chance. There is a reason medical school spots are artificially limited... programmers seem to be the only ones trying to automate themselves out of their jobs.

Just a note. It’s residency spots that are the current limitation. They’re essentially stagnant since the 90’s.

Medical schools have come online, but the supply of educated doctors who cannot make it to practice is still limited.

Regardless, of spots, the problem is bad enough that most states are offering increased scope to mid-level practitioners to make up for the shortage that physician lobbies refuse to fix.

Publicly, maybe. Do we know how many medical students are using it?
