Target Audience

Needs Statement

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a relatively new technology with significant potential in healthcare if implemented in a strategic and safe manner. However, there are challenges in integrating AI into workflows because of limited foundational knowledge, ethical concerns, and insufficient exposure to practical tools that enhance efficiency and innovation. This series aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world clinical practice, promote the use of research tools such as literature review automation and data analytics, and advance the application of AI-driven educational methods synergistically with the Learning Health System. By focusing on practical applications, ethical challenges, and future innovations, the series seeks to  break down barriers to the implementation of AI and to foster innovation and collaboration.

Educational Methods

Educational methods will include lectures, case presentations, and panel discussion.

Objectives

At the conclusion of the sessions, the participants should be able to:

• Define artificial intelligence (AI) and describe its foundational principles, applications, potential, and limitations in healthcare.
• Identify and utilize AI tools to streamline clinical workflows, enhance curriculum design, and improve patient care.
• Develop strategic approaches to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge AI solutions into academic medicine.
• Analyze ethical challenges related to AI and apply strategies to ensure responsible implementation of AI in healthcare.
• Implement AI-based data analytic tools to streamline research workflows, improve data accuracy, and accelerate the discovery process.

Evaluation

Participants may be asked to complete a session evaluation.
