In the past couple of years, the world has seen the unprecedented growth and development of machine learning and AI applications, along with a huge spike in demand for new systems. This rising demand for AI services has, according to today's guest, stifled competition to supply AI to those with a lot of resources, and caused uneven access for the rest of us. In this episode we are looking at reducing those barriers to entry, and helping more people get access to foundation model training, at less cost financially - and to the planet – with Fellow and VP at HPE, Paolo Faraboschi.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.

Dr. Erkeda DeRouen talks to Olivia Brumfield who is currently a third year student at Harvard Medical School. They talk about applying to medical schools with intention and personalizing medical education.   [00:39] Introducing Olivia Brumfield [02:20] Medical School Application Tips [10:55] Learning American Sign Language [15:06] Transition into Medical School [18:13] What Olivia Would Change About Healthcare [21:23] What Olivia Would Change About Medical Education Apply to Medical Schools with Intention Having gone through medical school applications herself, Olivia reminds students to be mindful of their mental health. Take breaks and stay connected to your why so you don't lose yourself in the process. Your passion for medicine will help you power through difficult moments.  Be selective about the med schools you're considering. Will this institution help you serve the population you want to care for? Do their values align with the kind of doctor you want to become? Save yourself the time, expense, and mental bandwidth by applying to schools that will help you reach your goals.  It's okay to take your time before you start med school applications. Be honest and evaluate if you're ready to commit to the process. Pursuing other opportunities is not a bad thing. Contrary to what other people may think, you can gain other skills that can help improve your future practice as a physician.  Reducing Barriers in Healthcare As a clerk, Olivia has seen firsthand how limited resources can affect healthcare. Patients are not able to access the care they need because of a variety of factors. Olivia wishes we can have better medical infrastructure to support patients and to reduce the financial costs of medicine to make it accessible to everyone. She also wishes to see more diversity in all areas of healthcare. If groups feel represented in medicine, it will be easier to connect and provide care for different populations.   A Well-Rounded Medical Education Olivia proposes that medical education should be a more personalized experience. If schools can tailor a program for students based on their unique values, deciding which field to go into may become easier. It would also be helpful if students can learn about the business of medicine early on so they can navigate the healthcare system with more ease.  You can reach Olivia Brumfield through her Instagram.   To learn more about how MedSchoolCoach can help you along your medical school journey, visit us at Prospective Doctor.

But only a small fraction of patients end up enrolling in a cancer clinical trial due to barriers that make participation difficult or even impossible. As a result, approximately 20% of cancer clinical trials fail due to insufficient patient enrollment.
