The Clinical AI working group's mission is to inform the strategy and processes for the responsible use of AI and emerging technologies to advance VP&S’s clinical mission, with a specific focus on clinical care and clinical operations. The group has four goals:

  1. Coordinate: align departmental needs with VP&S’s clinical AI strategy
  2. Advise: pilot and provide feedback on clinical AI governance
  3. Guide: connect faculty with clinical AI governance, tools, and institutional resources
  4. Learn together: create a forum for departments to share experiences and lessons learned around clinical AI.
