Well-explained healthcare is not just about doctors and nurses; it involves many other professionals, including biomedical engineers and radiologists. While I believe AI is booming, I also have concerns about its accuracy. Human beings can often find more accurate results, even though they may take more time than AI.

There are many growing fields in healthcare, such as pharmacovigilance, clinical research, clinical data management, medical writing, and regulatory writing. All of these areas are expanding because every drug must meet safety standards before it can reach the market and be consumed by patients.
