Jithin John,
MD.

Hi, I'm Dr. John.

I'm a senior resident in Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery at the Detroit Medical Center. I came to medicine the long way — neuroscience at Georgia State, then my MD at Oakland University William Beaumont — and to ENT because it asks you to be precise with your hands and thoughtful with people, often in the same afternoon.

Residency is humbling in the best way. Most days are made of small things done carefully: a clinic visit, an operation, a hard conversation with a worried family, an hour spent teaching the medical students who rotate with us. I'm just trying to get a little better at each.

I've also always wanted to understand how things actually work — which is how I've ended up so curious about AI. I'm not an expert, and I'm not selling anything. I just believe doctors who genuinely understand the technology will be useful in the years ahead, and I'd like to be one of them. Mostly, though, I'm just in steady pursuit of two things: knowledge and a little balance along the way.
