Six million healthcare workers are missing today. By 2030, that number reaches 10 million. No amount of training will ever close that gap.

In this clip from our episode “Is AI the New Dr. Google?”, host David E. Williams and Bertalan Mesko, Director of the Medical Futurist Institute, break down why the healthcare worker shortage is a mathematical problem that only advanced technology can solve.
