Welcome to the Veterinary Breakroom! Join Alyssa Watson, DVM, and Beth Molleson, DVM, as they discuss pressing issues impacting the veterinary profession. Would you want an AI agent renewing your personal prescription? How about your patient's? In this episode, Dr. Alyssa and Dr. Beth react to a recent JAMA article on Utah's first-of-its-kind pilot program allowing an autonomous AI agent to renew prescriptions for people—and the medical licensing board pushback that followed. Don’t miss this candid conversation about what this could mean for patients, providers, and a veterinary profession that may not be far behind.
