I’m R. Logan Jones, MD, FACP — hospitalist, medical educator, committee lifer, governance wonk, and someone who enjoys thinking way too much about how medicine actually works. I serve as Associate Professor of Medicine at OHSU, chair the School of Medicine’s Entrustment Group, run the DHM Journal Club, and contribute nationally to the AAMC’s AI competency development work.
Over the years, I’ve ended up deeply embedded in committees, boards, task forces, and governance structures across the AMA, ACP, OMA, and academic medicine. I care about clinical reasoning, AI, CBME, political economy, professional identity formation, and the long-term architecture of the medical profession. I’ve consulted for Eko Devices and VisualDx, and I’m actively involved in multi-site research on ambient AI scribes.
I’m a wannabe polymath — happiest when I’m learning, pulling ideas from different disciplines, and trying to make sense of where medicine is heading. This site holds the writing that comes from that impulse: long-form essays, frameworks, and musings that don’t fit inside traditional academic journals.
When I’m not doing all that, I’m a father, woodworker, and enthusiastic systems thinker trying to keep medicine grounded, human, and maybe even a little bit wiser.
