Learners, trainees and faculty at the College of Medicine will soon have the opportunity to get into the nitty gritty process of developing their own code to create artificial intelligence algorithms that would improve medical research as part of an upcoming course.

AI in Healthcare Technical Course II is expected to be available to students, trainees and faculty at the College of Medicine by the end of April, with attendees at the college’s upcoming AI4Health conference in Orlando getting a special first look at the course’s early modules. Last year, more than 1,000 college affiliates enrolled in the first course on the fundamentals of artificial intelligence terminology and applications in medicine.

Like the College of Medicine’s popular AI fundamentals course, the second course will include several modules that contain six- to eight-minute videos and other multimedia elements like animated graphics, created through collaboration with the UF College of Education.

Traditionally, women are less likely to seek out professional help for physical and mental health conditions. However, with an increasing presence of female clinicians and health professionals who come from backgrounds that are underrepresented in medicine, clinicians nationwide are gaining the trust that will lead women to better overall health.

In honor of Women’s History Month, celebrated annually in March, the UF College of Medicine is highlighting female faculty and staff in various departments who dedicate their careers to improving women’s health.

Hear from three College of Medicine women who are impacting women’s health care: Ki Park, M.D., founder and director of the UF Health Women’s Cardiovascular Health Services program; Kay Roussos-Ross, M.D., MPAS, director of the UF Health Women’s Center — Medical Plaza; and Natalia Prieto, CNM, ARNP, DNP, the lead midwife for the UF Health Midwifery Group.

A total of 132 members of the UF medical school class of 2023 were joined by friends and family at the Edward G. Evans Champions Club at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on March 17 for Match Day, during which all U.S. medical students discover where they will spend the next three to seven years in their residency programs.

Shelley Collins, M.D., the associate dean for student affairs, said she has enjoyed watching members of the UF M.D. class of 2023 develop into wonderful physicians.

“Seniors, you have had an incredible impact on me over the last four years that I’ve gotten to know you, and I hope that I have been able to impact you even just a little bit and influence you as you head off into your careers,” she said. “Today is a great day that you will remember for the rest of your careers, and I am incredibly proud of each and every one of you.”

The most common specialties the class will go into include internal medicine, pediatrics, anesthesiology, OB-GYN, radiology and general surgery. The UF College of Medicine will also welcome 191 new residents in Gainesville and 98 new residents in Jacksonville.
