Wade Licup MD

Summary

• I’m a primary care physician at Scripps Health, blending clinical practice with forward-thinking technology to deliver care at the intersection of medicine and innovation.
  
  I integrate AI tools daily to streamline documentation, optimize decision-making, and refocus my attention where it matters most: patients and clinical judgment. I’m fluent across multiple EMR platforms and skilled in prompt engineering and contextual application of large language models (LLMs) in healthcare workflows.
  
  My career has been built on bridging medicine and technology: from leading patient engagement initiatives during my time as Chief Resident at UC Davis Merced, to gaining diverse clinical experience at UCLA Health, to exploring next-generation tools for clinical efficiency today.
  
  Outside the clinic, I founded 37°C Charities to deliver health resources to underserved communities, and continue to build projects that blend purpose with impact.
  
  Certified by the American Board of Aesthetic Medicine (Step 1 and 2), I’m expanding into aesthetics and longevity medicine, drawing inspiration from pioneers advancing the frontier of healthcare innovation.
  
  I believe the future of medicine belongs to those who can integrate human care with emerging technology and I’m committed to helping build it.
