A new kind of expert:
MI expertise amplified by AI application

While some suggest that AI could replace Medical Information (MI) Specialists, we believe the opposite is true: the expertise of highly trained MI professionals will be more essential than ever. 

 

Ignoring AI means clinging to outdated practices, while using it without deep MI expertise risks scaling poor processes.

 

A new kind of expert is emerging in our field: professionals, who understand both high-quality MI standards and how to use AI effectively in their workflows.  

​​

They are becoming Super Medical Information Leaders (SMILs).​

* Data from a MILE Survey with 29 Medical Information Leaders from association members. 


96%

Almost all consider learning about AI to be "important" or "very important".*
