How do expert clinicians actually think? Why do diagnostic errors happen? And can artificial intelligence improve clinical reasoning without replacing physicians?

In this episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Raja-Elie Abdulnour, Pulmonary and Critical Care Physician at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Editor-in-Chief of NEJM Clinician and Chief Clinical Innovation Officer NEJM Group , to explore the evolving relationship between clinical reasoning and AI.

We discuss how physicians develop diagnostic expertise, the cognitive biases behind medical errors, the rise of AI-powered clinical decision support tools, the future of augmented intelligence in healthcare, and why human judgment, communication, and trust remain essential in medicine.

Whether you're a medical student, resident, practicing clinician, or simply curious about the future of healthcare, this conversation offers valuable insights into how AI may transform the way we diagnose, learn, and care for patients.

Topics Covered:

How expert clinicians think System 1 vs. System 2 reasoning Diagnostic errors and cognitive biases

AI performance in clinical diagnosis

ChatGPT and medical decision-making

AI scribes and workflow efficiency

Augmented intelligence in healthcare

The future of physician-AI collaboration

Preserving clinical skills in the AI era

Clinical trials save lives but why does it often take years before a study can enroll its first patient?

In this episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, Dr. Khalil Diab sits down with oncologist, physician executive, author, and Chief Medical Officer of Ryght AI, Chadi Nabhan, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming clinical trial site selection, feasibility assessments, and study activation.

Dr. Nabhan explains why so many clinical trials struggle with enrollment, how traditional site selection methods often rely on relationships rather than data, and how AI-powered "digital site twins" may help identify the best-performing research centers worldwide. The discussion also explores the future of clinical research, reducing trial delays, increasing diversity in enrollment, and accelerating access to life-saving therapies.

Topics discussed include:

✅ Why clinical trials often take 10–12 years to complete

✅ The hidden costs of poor site selection

✅ How AI-powered site twins work

✅ Clinical trial feasibility and site activation

✅ Enrollment prediction and trial performance

✅ Community practices vs academic medical centers

✅ Diversity, equity, and bias in AI-driven research

✅ The future of AI in clinical trials and drug development

✅ How faster trials could bring treatments to patients sooner

Whether you're a physician, researcher, clinical trial professional, healthcare executive, or simply interested in the future of medicine, this conversation offers a fascinating look at how AI may reshape clinical research for years to come.
