Episode Description

AI is no longer optional in healthcare or law; it’s becoming a defining line between those who adapt and those who fall behind.

In this episode, Carrie Nixon, Founder and Managing Partner of Nixon Law Group, discusses the rapid rise of AI in healthcare and legal services, exploring its implications for innovation, regulation, and the future workforce. She explains how AI is most powerful when used to solve complex, multi-variable problems rather than simple contract tasks. Carrie also shares concerns about Medicaid funding cuts, threatened ACA subsidies, and the rollback of telehealth flexibilities that could impact millions of patients and stall progress. She closes with advice for emerging professionals to gain real-world experience and learn to use AI as a value-adding tool.

Tune in to hear a candid conversation on why embracing AI is critical for the future of healthcare, law, and leadership.
