Clinician of the Future 2025

At Elsevier, we believe that by working together, we can shape human progress for the benefit of all. By listening to those treating patients every day and elevating their voices, we will be better informed about the future challenges clinicians may face and how best we can meet these challenges head on.

Our latest global survey reveals clinicians’ optimism as AI delivers new solutions to key challenges—from managing high patient volumes to enhancing diagnostics and care. Yet the opportunities provided by AI also raise concerns: clinicians are wrestling with issues such as technology readiness gaps and concerns over adequate AI training, burnout, and misinformation.

Read the summary report here.

The current state of healthcare:

• Clinicians are more pressured than ever, with 69% seeing more patients and 28% believing they do not have time to provide a good standard of care.
• Of these, many cite reduced time per visit (74%) and excessive administration (73%) as the key reasons.
• Nearly half of all clinicians feel exhaustion affects care and many also find they spend time correcting patient misinformation (59%).
• Only a third (32%) feel supported with digital tools like AI from their institution, and few receive enough AI training from their institution (30%).
• Despite optimism about AI, clinicians think better guidance and institutional support are needed to boost confidence and ease workforce strain.
