This video, an excerpt from "What Will Radiation Oncologists Lead in the Age of Superintelligent Al? Part 9: Radiation Oncology Training Must Catch Up to an Al-Driven Future" (by Brian Lawenda, MD), argues that radiation oncology (RO) training programs must urgently adapt to the significant workflow changes driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation. The author contends that the current residency model prepares physicians for tasks that AI and system protocols are rapidly taking over, leading to an oversupply of radiation oncologists whose traditional roles are diminishing. Future ROs will primarily focus on leading AI-enabled teams, managing clinical complexity, ensuring quality control in automated environments, and applying critical judgment where AI may fail or lack context. Ultimately, the specialty's value depends on integrating AI training into curricula now, thereby preparing graduates to lead the field in an environment where technological literacy is paramount.
