Prof. Dr. David John O’Regan was invited to present at a closed-room round table event held at the Hyatt Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. The talk addressed training the next generation of medical learners — how AI can help engage Generation Z.
Generation Z is wired differently, and it is our responsibility to adapt how we teach. But at the heart of teaching remains the person — embodied in both the patient and the teacher. The key word is PRESENCE. AI cannot replicate presence: the 'vibe,' the human feeling, cannot be replaced by the hum of the machine.
The room was full of VIP representatives from government and health departments as well a notable people in the AI industry and telecommunications. It was a pleasure to have informal conversations with the Director of UMMC.
