How Physicians Can Use AI to Innovate and Build Businesses, with Dr. Harvey Castro

In this episode, Dr. Nisha Mehta is joined by Dr. Harvey Castro, an emergency medicine physician, serial healthcare entrepreneur, and AI innovator known as “Dr. GPT,” to discuss how physicians can leverage artificial intelligence in their personal, professional, and entrepreneurial lives to buy back time, identify areas for innovation, and move faster on business ideas.

They discuss:

  • How his entrepreneurial spirit has led to many side gigs and businesses, including developing multiple apps, writing many books, building & operating eight freestanding emergency rooms, & being a keynote and TedX speaker
  • Business lessons he’s learned along the way, emphasizing the importance of strategic partnerships, financial expertise, negotiation skills, and surrounding yourself with people who complement your strengths
  • How he became an early adopter of ChatGPT, published a book on AI in healthcare shortly after its release, and built a personal brand as “Dr. GPT”
  • Practical ways physicians can use AI in all realms of their lives as a thought partner & productivity multiplier, including in automating tasks, networking, content creation, research, & summarizing content for personal learning
  • Where physicians interested in deploying AI in their lives should start, and then how to add on more advanced tools, agents, and automation workflows, while also being aware of the potential risks of becoming overly dependent on AI
