Doctors in Medical Data Sciences: A New Curriculum (Preprint)
UNSTRUCTURED Machine Learning (ML), a branch of Artificial Intelligence, now competes with human experts in many specialized biomedical fields and will play an increasing role in precision medicine. As with any other technological advance in medicine, the keys to understanding must be integrated into practitioner training. To respond to this challenge, this viewpoint discusses some necessary changes in the health studies curriculum to help practitioners interpret decisions made by a machine and question them in relation to the patient's medical context. The complexity of technology and the inherent criticality of its use in medicine also necessitate a new medical profession. To achieve this objective, this viewpoint will propose new medical practitioners, with skills both in medicine and in data science, The Doctor in Medical Data Sciences.
