Which medical field is most resistance to automation and AI?

I think the least resistant is radiology. I think that field will mostly cease to exist in a decade.
Certainly most surgery fields are safe. Even as robot surgeries take affect, doctors will be required to oversee or "control" the machine.
Pediatricians and family doctors will fall victim more to PAs and nurse practitioners, than to automation.
I would say OB/GYN and Urologists are very safe. Don't want robots messing with my junk.

Which medical field is most resistance to automation and AI?
quote:
An athletic trainer is a certified and licensed health care professional who practices in the field of sports medicine. Athletic training has been recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA) as an allied health care profession since 1990.[1]
As defined by the Strategic Implementation Team of the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) in August 2007:[2]
quote:
"Athletic training is practiced by athletic trainers, health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to optimize activity and quality of life for patients both of the physically active and sedentary population. Athletic training encompasses the prevention, diagnosis[3] and intervention of emergency, acute and chronic medical conditions involving impairment, functional limitations and disabilities."
quote:
To become an athletic trainer one must have a master's degree from an accredited professional level education program and then sit for and pass the Board of Certification (BOC) examination. Each state then has their own regulatory agencies that control the practice of athletic training in their state. Most states (42) require an athletic trainer to obtain a license in order to practice in that state, 5 states (Colorado, Hawaii, Minnesota, Oregon, West Virginia) require registration, 2 states (New York, South Carolina) require certification, while California has no state regulations on the practice of athletic training.[4] Areas of expertise of certified athletic trainers include:
Apply protective or injury-preventive devices such as tape, bandages, and braces
Recognize and evaluate injuries
Provide first aid or emergency care
Develop and carry out rehabilitation programs for injured athletes
Plan and implement comprehensive programs to prevent injury and illness among athletes
Perform administrative tasks such as keeping records and writing reports on injuries and treatment programs

Whatever doctor grabs your balls and tells you to cough. That squeeze may be too delicate for a robot.

LPN. It'll be a while before they have a robot that can wipe a patient's arse with the dexterity of a human.

I always get a kick out of a board full of engineers, salesmen, and "consultants" cheering on AI

Whether it gets cheered on or not, it's coming. Might was well discuss it and try to prepare for it.
It's never certain how these things will affect society. Sometimes new technologies increase business and more jobs. Computers and the internet replaced a lot of things, but created a lot of jobs and wealth. Tractors, autos, etc., were category killers, but also created a lot of jobs and wealth.

Psychiatry - many still use prescription pads and have their receptionist prepare bills by hand.

Wow, that’s incredibly wrong. It’s damn near impossible to give a yes or no answer in that field. One of my friends does it, and there’s a reason he makes an incredible amount of money. It’s incredibly difficult. I just simply disagree with this one.

It's already happening. AI is 1000 times better at reading an X-ray, mammogram or MRI, and is faster and more accurate.
AI could make MRI scans as much as 10 times faster

Is automation going to somehow overthrow the AMA? The only field worth worrying about is perhaps biomed, and even then it is probably materials handling and lab assistants. AMA has a stranglehold on the hospitals.

It's not that these fields disappear one day. It is a slow, gradual decrease. They pay less, need fewer and over time it becomes a niche position. They will still likely exist but in a supervisory or consulting role to oversee and program machines.

Physical therapy. People are lazy as shite and often incapable of helping themselves.
