"What is your advice to physicians on adapting to this Brave New World? How does this differ by specialty? What should they do today vs. plan for in 10, 20, 30 years? Any advice for pre-meds and medical school students?

The end game is embedding the expertise of doctors into silicon and software, much as ATMs did to tellers, or switches did to operators or electronic trading did to specialists at the NY Stock Exchange. I would rather be on the side of those affecting the change than fight the change. There will be enormous career opportunities for those that understand the changes ahead. The days of the family physician aren’t over, but will be radically different. Think of the change that took place with cardiac surgeons once stent procedures became the norm vs. bypass. Then multiply that by 1000 to cover the rest of the industry. You can ride the wave or get knocked over by it."
