Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has witnessed rapid evolution in recent years and is gradually integrated into healthcare systems worldwide. For young physicians, navigating this landscape requires a delicate balance. They must weigh the potential benefits offered by AI-driven innovations against the intricate demands of patient care, ethical imperatives, and the evolving nature of their professional roles. This concise review aims to spotlight the key opportunities and challenges that young physicians encounter in this digital age. Additionally, practical recommendations are provided to guide young physicians in integrating AI knowledge seamlessly into their clinical practice. Finally, this review concludes with forward-looking suggestions,including incorporating AI training into medical education curricula and formulating policy initiatives. The overarching goal is to optimize the role of young physicians within the dynamic and evolving digital healthcare environment, ensuring they are well-equipped to leverage AI for the betterment of patient care.
