Paper Defines AI-Related Competencies for Health Professionals

The prospect of the adoption of artificial intelligence-based tools by health care teams has begun to raise practical and ethical concerns, with no consensus apparently yet available regarding how health professionals might best prepare themselves to evaluate and work with such tools.

This state of affairs prompted researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and IBM Watson Health to engage experts from around the country in defining a set of AI-related clinical competencies for health care professionals. The group’s competency statements and research report appeared recently in Academic Medicine.

Others on the study from VUMC include DBMI's Laurie Novak, PhD, and Gretchen Jackson, MD, PhD. Click to read more in the VUMC Reporter!
