Summary
Through capabilities such as in-basket management, AI integration can be transformative for women dealing with the dual demands of clinical duties and administrative responsibilities. Despite progress toward gender equity in medicine, women physicians reported a burnout rate of 54.5% in 2023, compared to 42% for men, largely due to increased administrative obligations, according to the American Medical Association. With AI’s potential to streamline tasks like electronic health record management and clinical documentation, there is optimism that it can help alleviate this burden and promote a healthier work-life balance for female doctors.
