Purpose

The AIM-AHEAD Clinicians Leading Ingenuity IN Al Quality (CLINAQ) Fellowship Program’s focus is to enhance cultural competence and address healthcare disparities among patient populations. The CLINAQ Fellowship is a one-year fellowship that operates in parallel with clinical practice to equip clinicians in the field of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML).

Participants

The term clinician encompasses a broad range of professionals including physicians, nurses, physician assistants, therapists, and pharmacists, among others. By fostering an interdisciplinary approach, the CLINAQ Fellowship cultivates a new generation of clinicians who can champion innovation in AI for healthcare.

Impact

Fellows will actively participate in the development of AI tools, assess the suitability for AI/ML solutions for specific clinical/workflow challenges, and identify AI/ML approaches that will address disparities in the delivery of care. The program offers courses in AI and Ethics, Clinical AI workshops, mentoring, leadership training, and peer networks, all while fostering the development of a community of clinicians from a variety of backgrounds with a common interest in AI/ML.

By equipping a robust cohort of clinicians with AI/ML skills and knowledge, the CLINAQ Fellowship Program will enhance the representation of broader perspectives in healthcare technology. An interdisciplinary team approach will be emphasized to foster innovation and improve patient outcomes.
