Given the current events in Lebanon, Lebanese physicians working there have been in the news extensively lately. Some have chosen to leave in search of a more stable life; some have chosen to stay, and some have chosen not to move back to Lebanon in the first place. We will interview Lebanese physicians working in Lebanon and beyond to get their opinions about the events taking place in Lebanon, the future of medicine in Lebanon, and the role Lebanese physicians play worldwide in their respective fields, and their connections to their home county. We will highlight success stories, stories that were not so successful, and everything in between. Medical students, physicians-in-training, and attending physicians at different points in their careers will be interviewed. We hope you will find this podcast beneficial and exciting!

After decades of caring for patients in underserved communities around the world, Dr. Glenn Geelhoed suddenly became the patient. A diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis forced him to stop running, miss his 50th Marine Corps Marathon, and endure months of difficult treatment. But he never stopped seeing himself as a runner. “It’s not the finish line. It’s the run. It’s called living.”

Clinical trials save lives but why does it often take years before a study can enroll its first patient?
In this episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, Dr. Khalil Diab sits down with oncologist, physician executive, author, and Chief Medical Officer of Ryght AI, Chadi Nabhan, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming clinical trial site selection, feasibility assessments, and study activation.
Dr. Nabhan explains why so many clinical trials struggle with enrollment, how traditional site selection methods often rely on relationships rather than data, and how AI-powered "digital site twins" may help identify the best-performing research centers worldwide. The discussion also explores the future of clinical research, reducing trial delays, increasing diversity in enrollment, and accelerating access to life-saving therapies.
Topics discussed include:
✅ Why clinical trials often take 10–12 years to complete
✅ The hidden costs of poor site selection
✅ How AI-powered site twins work
✅ Clinical trial feasibility and site activation
✅ Enrollment prediction and trial performance
✅ Community practices vs academic medical centers
✅ Diversity, equity, and bias in AI-driven research
✅ The future of AI in clinical trials and drug development
✅ How faster trials could bring treatments to patients sooner
Whether you're a physician, researcher, clinical trial professional, healthcare executive, or simply interested in the future of medicine, this conversation offers a fascinating look at how AI may reshape clinical research for years to come.
