Connection to Care: How to Build the Power to Protect Your Patients and Your Practice
Joel Charles, MD, MPH
With rising threats to our practices and our patients' health, it is more important than ever for physicians to make their voices heard together. And yet too many physicians feel a lack of agency and isolation in the face of seemingly intractable problems. Using his highly successful organization as a case study, Dr. Charles will provide an overview of best practices for how physicians can turn their values into connection with colleagues, and that connection into power to protect their practices, patients, and communities.
Artificial Intelligence
William Hogan, MD, MS (Medical College of Wisconsin, Founding Director of MCW's Data Science Institute) & Andrew Nencka, PhD (Medical College of Wisconsin, Associate Professor; Associate Director, Center for Imaging Research; Section of Imaging Research, Division of Imaging Sciences)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly emerging field which holds the potential to impact all areas of life, including healthcare, education, patient care, and biomedical research. The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) is at the cutting edge of these innovations; for example, by launching a Data Science Institute focusing on developing the specialized data science workforce needed in healthcare. This institute will bring together AI solutions across the organization. MCW’s AI approach emphasizes academic freedom to explore AI's potential, while maintaining ethical oversight, educating students, prioritizing human validation, and forming industry and clinical partnerships to implement appropriate tools. Join us for this discussion to explore harnessing AI to benefit patients, providers, and students, while contributing to the broader discourse on AI’s role in healthcare.
