AI and entertainment are transforming primary education. Could radiologist training be significantly behind?
If you want to know how radiologists will learn the job 10 to 20 years from now, check out how many students will learn the subject in the 2022-2023 school year.
Driven by technology, transformed by the COVID pandemic, and fine-tuned regionally by demographic shifts, children’s education is transforming into a personalized consumer or learner industry.
On the other hand, today’s school children are tomorrow’s healthcare consumers.

Along the way, the author makes some compelling predictions about what education will soon look like. Tying together their predictions is his code of three elements: AI, digital connectivity and, of course, entertainment.
An example is shown below.
