Dr. Joel Selanikio Speaking Topics
AI doesn’t just replicate knowledge — it changes who holds it.
This talk explores how large language models and democratized information are transforming professions built on scarcity of expertise, and how healthcare and education leaders can adapt to remain trusted in a more transparent world.
What happens when patients no longer need permission to access diagnosis or treatment?
From symptom checkers to smartwatches and generative AI, patients are becoming self-navigators. This talk explores how healthcare systems can evolve — not resist — this shift, and find new value in a post-gatekeeper era.
What pandemics and disasters reveal about systems under stress.
Based on experiences with Ebola, COVID, and 9/11 response, this talk examines how institutions make decisions in uncertainty — and what leaders can learn from crisis-tested models of adaptation, improvisation, and resilience
Healthcare won’t just get better — it will get smaller.
This talk explains how AI, automation, and patient-driven tools are pushing care out of traditional institutions and into everyday life. For administrators and clinicians, the challenge isn’t to resist — it’s to redesign.
