Dr. Samir C. Grover — speaker on AI in medicine and medical education

Speaking

Talks on AI in medicine, how doctors learn, and what to build next.

about

I speak to medical schools, health systems, academic departments, and industry audiences about what AI actually changes in medicine and medical education. The talks draw on 120+ peer-reviewed publications, two decades of teaching physicians procedures, and the programs I run now: a research lab focused on AI in medical education (Grover Lab), the Summer of Vibes innovation sprint, and the academic portfolio of a large Canadian hospital network. Formats: keynotes, grand rounds, workshops, panels, and executive briefings. Virtual or in person, based in Toronto.

signature talks

Neverskilling, deskilling, hyperskilling: training doctors in the age of AI

AI can perform cognitive tasks FOR trainees instead of WITH them, and skills never acquired cannot be maintained. This talk lays out the evidence on skill acquisition and decay in the AI era, and the training designs that produce hyperskilled clinicians instead. For medical educators, program directors, and CBME leaders.

Build, don't just use: the clinician-developer

Clinicians who can build AI tools, not just consume them, are the scarcest resource in health care. The story of how we taught students and physicians to ship working clinical prototypes in weeks, told through the Summer of Vibes program and the clinician-developer electives that followed. For innovation teams, hospital executives, and health-professions faculties.

Talks are tailored to the audience. Related topics: simulation-based training, competency assessment, cognitive load in procedural medicine, conflicts of interest in clinical guidelines.

where

Invited talks and visiting lectures across academic medicine, including Digestive Disease Week (DDW), Canadian Digestive Diseases Week (CDDW), various live courses, national GI and medical education meetings, and university and hospital grand rounds. I founded and directed the University of Toronto Endoscopic Simulation Course for 14 years, through 2024, and host the Summer of Vibes Grand Demo Day at SHN.
