AI is no longer optional in healthcare.
The question isn’t whether future physicians will use it. It’s whether they’ll be prepared to use it responsibly, intelligently, and in a way that strengthens clinical judgment instead of weakening it.
That’s why Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine (Noorda-COM) selected Matic as its clinical intelligence partner, giving medical students hands-on experience with AI embedded directly into real-world clinical workflows.
This isn’t about introducing “another AI scribe.” It’s about preparing physicians for how medicine is actually practiced today and how it will be practiced tomorrow.
Medical students must now master more than diagnosis and treatment. They must also navigate:
Noorda-COM’s goal was not to outsource documentation. It was to train better physicians.
Physicians who understand:
To accomplish that, Noorda-COM selected Scribematic®, Matic’s AI-native scribe. Students gain hands-on experience with AI-assisted documentation inside the same EHR environments they will encounter in residency and practice, including widely used systems like athenahealth, where Matic is directly integrated.
Noorda-COM evaluated generic AI scribes and horizontal AI tools. What they found was a gap between transcription tools and systems capable of supporting true clinical education.
Their requirements were clear:
Recently recognized by KLAS Research as an Emerging Company in AI-driven clinical documentation and intelligent workflows, Matic earned high marks for reliability, customization, measurable time savings, and clinician satisfaction, including 100% repeat-buy intent.
For Noorda-COM, that independent validation mattered. When introducing AI into medical education, reliability and real-world performance are non-negotiable.
This partnership carries special significance.
Matic founder Alex Sheppert, DO, PhD, MBA, began developing Scribematic while he was a Noorda-COM medical student during clinical rotations.
Trained first as an AI engineer and lifelong programmer, Sheppert entered medicine to understand firsthand how documentation demands affect learning, patient interaction, and clinical judgment.
Scribematic reflects that dual perspective, built by someone who has been the student, the engineer, and the physician.
Noorda-COM also viewed this partnership as a way to support the community physicians who train its students.
All participating preceptors receive access to Scribematic.
This creates immediate value in daily practice, and strengthens the educational experience. When students and preceptors use the same intelligent documentation framework, training becomes aligned with real-world workflows.
Students don’t just learn how to document care. They learn how documentation, clinical reasoning, coding, summaries, and follow-up connect across the full care-to-collection lifecycle.
Scribematic is the first layer. Over time, students may encounter additional purpose-built solutions within the Matic Clinical Intelligence Platform:
Together, these solutions create a connected intelligence layer that mirrors how care actually moves forward, with context intact.
This progression gives students early exposure to AI-enabled clinical intelligence before residency, helping them understand how documentation, care decisions, and downstream outcomes are connected in real practice.
“This partnership isn’t about teaching students how to use a tool,” said Calvin Carter, CEO of Matic. “It’s about teaching them how medicine actually works in an AI-enabled world. Generic AI tools stop at transcription. Matic was built to model clinical thinking, preserve intent, and carry context from care-to-claim.”
As AI becomes embedded in clinical workflows, medical education must evolve.
Physicians should not encounter AI for the first time in residency.
They should graduate understanding:
By embedding AI responsibly and transparently into clinical training, Noorda-COM is preparing physicians for the medicine they will actually practice, not the medicine of the past.
