Try an AI tool on one task you'd normally do by hand: "Submit reports to physicians summarizing test results".Learn one AI tool well enough to show it in an interview, for: "Indicate artifacts or interferences derived from sources outside of the brain, such as poor electrode contact or patient movement, on electroneurodiagnostic recordings".Get visibly better at your human core: "Explain testing procedures to patients, answering questions or reassuring patients, as needed".Rewrite the top of your CV around judgment, people and decisions, not routine output.
