YouTube · · Article
In Episode 15 of The Expert Witness Playbook, host Dr. Brian Woodruff sits down with our co-founder Dr. Josh Russell.
Josh shares nearly a decade of malpractice expert experience and a candid look at where AI is and isn't ready to change this work.
The conversation covers:
- Practical advice for physicians starting out as expert witnesses
- Why standard of care is the hardest problem for AI to crack (and where current tools fall short)
- How Experitas pairs AI-generated case summaries with specialty-specific physician reviewers to deliver preliminary merit assessments in days rather than weeks
- A new on-ramp for newer experts to break into the field through a meritocracy-driven platform
- Why "AI won't replace every expert, but experts who use AI will replace those who don't."
Whether you're a seasoned expert or just starting to explore this work, this episode offers a clear-eyed view of how technology and physician expertise are converging to reshape medical-legal practice.
