What Does Medicine Look Like When AI in the Room? - Jack Kincaid

In this episode, Priten speaks with Jack Kincaid, a third-year medical student at Harvard Medical School, about navigating clinical training in an era of powerful AI tools. Jack shares his perspective on Open Evidence (a medical LLM), Harvard's AI Sandbox, and the tension between leveraging new technology and developing as a physician.Key Takeaways:AI tools can accelerate diagnostic reasoning—but training still requires struggle. Platforms like Open Evidence can reliably synthesize evidence and suggest diagnoses, but reflexively reaching for them risks stunting the critical thinking that clinical practice demands. The goal should be building heuristics strong enough to stay present with patients, not offloading cognition.Transparency about surveillance matters. From Canvas quiz monitoring in college to clinical logging systems, students often don't know what's being tracked. Jack's experience as a TA revealed the extent of visibility administrators have—and raised questions about whether strategic ambiguity helps maintain standards or just breeds anxiety.Institutions are starting to take AI governance seriously. Harvard Medical School's AI Sandbox gives trainees access to multiple LLMs in a secure environment that protects curriculum materials and personal data (though it's not HIPAA compliant). This kind of infrastructure signals that leadership is thinking carefully about responsible use.Career concerns about AI replacement are real. For students considering imaging-heavy specialties like radiology or radiation oncology, the specter of AI "scope creep" is a recurring topic in conversations with attendings and senior trainees. It's not paranoia—it's a practical factor in career planning.Discovery often happens peer-to-peer. Jack first learned about Open Evidence by glancing at a classmate's screen during a simulation exercise. The most impactful tools aren't always introduced through formal curricula—they spread through observation and word of mouth.About Jack Kincaid:John “Jack” Kincaid is a trainee in the Harvard/MIT MD-PhD Program at Harvard Medical School interested in the intersection of diet and disease. Jack received B.A. (Nutritional Biochemistry and Metabolism) and M.S. (Nutrition) degrees from Case Western Reserve University in 2021, where he helped investigate the impact of obesity and obesogenic diet on cancer development in the laboratory of Nathan Berger at Case Comprehensive Cancer Center. Concomitantly, Jack worked with a variety of food access and health literacy groups including CWRU Food Recovery Network and Cooking Matters STL. After leaving CWRU, Jack relocated to the UK to train as a postgraduate in the group of Sir Stephen O’Rahilly at the University of Cambridge Institute of Metabolic Science, studying the neuroendocrine regulation of human appetitive behavior and body weight. As a physician scientist, Jack hopes to leverage basic science and clinical medicine to help address the growing burden of diet-associated illnesses as well as develop safe, effective treatments for metabolic disease.

Five “clinical containers” to design your language therapy system

In episode 255 of De Facto Leaders, I elaborate on the concept of using vocabulary as a large “container”, so you can design sessions efficiently without sacrificing quality.I talk about why more experienced clinicians often struggle to make their interventions scalable, and why this gets in the way of carryover.I also share the five “containers” I use in my Language Therapy Advance Foundations program that can support skills like reading, writing, spelling, and language processing in ways that can be reinforced outside sessions. If you have a ton of knowledge relating to language and executive functioning, but don’t know how to organize it into a cohesive system…If you’re getting results in sessions, but it takes a ton of effort on your part and consumes all your capacity…If you’re able to scaffold and model “on-the-fly”, but struggle to explain your techniques to others so they can replicate them…Then you’ll find this concept of “containers” really useful.In this episode, I mentioned Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives speech pathologists a framework for building language skills needed to thrive in school, social situations, and daily life. You can learn more about the program here: https://drkarenspeech.com/languagetherapyYou can view this episode on the blog to see the screenshare here: https://drkarenspeech.com/five-clinical-containers-to-design-your-language-therapy-system/The handout referenced in this episode is the session handout for my “Three Shifts to Creating a Scalable Language Therapy System” session.
