Roupen Odabashian Shows How AI Can Simplify NCCN Guideline Learning
Roupen Odabashian, Hematology/Oncology Fellow at the Karmanos Cancer Institute, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Most physicians fail to stay up to date with medical guidelines.
Not because they don’t care.
But because they’re long, dry, and packed with numbers.
Traditionally, you had two options:
- Grind through the full guidelines (and try not to fall asleep).
- Buy a question bank that may or may not stay updated.
Neither is ideal.
So I tried something different.
I highlighted a section of the NCCN guideline → exported it as a PDF → uploaded it into a study mode powered by LLMs. OpenAI great tool!
What happened surprised me.
The AI instantly generated clear, concise, high-yield questions.
No fluff. Just the concepts that matter.
Here’s why this matters:
- You learn actively, not passively.
- You can double-check every answer in the source PDF.
- You can scale it—one section at a time.
- It doesn’t replace the guideline.
But it makes the process 10x more efficient and a lot less painful.
We don’t need to memorize the whole book at once.
We just need the right questions at the right time.
And in medicine, the job is lifelong learning! so you have to enjoy it.”
