Why Every Future Doctor Needs an Engineering Degree (ft. Lev Gonick)

Dr. Lev Gonick is the Enterprise Chief Information Officer at Arizona State University, where he leads technology infrastructure, AI innovation, and smart city architecture for the nation's largest public university.

An academic and technology pioneer for more than three decades, Lev has been a sitting CIO for 25 years, with prior leadership at Case Western Reserve University and co-founding regional digital equity initiatives like DigitalC.

In this bonus episode of DGTL Voices, Lev tells Ed about growing up in an academic family, the pivotal 1993 university sabbatical that shifted his career into online learning, and why a university's success should be measured by who it includes rather than who it excludes. He also shares insight into ASU’s radical new medical school program where every future doctor also graduates with an engineering degree to navigate the upcoming AI economy.

Plus: the unique strategy he uses to stay ahead of tech trends by employing 350 student "coaches," why building true human relationships matters more than titles, and how getting lost in the kitchen as an amateur chef keeps him grounded.
