AI for Clinical Care Workshop
The UF College of Medicine, the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, and the Intelligent Clinical Care Center (IC3), in collaboration with the Bridge2AI CHoRUS network, hosted the AI for Clinical Care Workshop at Lake Nona. The AI for Clinical Care Workshop was held on April 21, 2024, at the UF Research and Academic Center at Lake Nona Campus (6550 Sanger Road, Orlando, FL 32827).
The workshop provided skills and professional development in AI for a multidisciplinary group of trainees, physicians, and early-stage investigators in medicine. This workshop aimed to enhance AI in Clinical Care skills in the clinical research workforce. It was based on a highly interdisciplinary and integrated skill and workforce development approach. The workshop consisted of two tracks: beginner and advanced.
Bridge2AI April 2024 Open House
This Bridge2AI public event provided an opportunity for scientists, coders, community members, and clinical practitioners with a range of expertise and experience levels to come together to build unique solutions that will help solve a range of relevant problems.
The Open House focused on collaborative approaches, explored new AI ready data sets, and discussed other key issues related to bridging the gap from biomedical information in AI. The Open House was held on April 18- April 19, 2024, at the NIH Neuroscience Center (6001 Executive Blvd, Rockville, MD 20852).

Hear Dr. Yael Bensoussan discuss leading large NIH funded consortium: (Lots of) Lessons learned from the 1st year of the Bridge2AI program
The NIH Center for Interventional Oncology is hosting a Women Leaders in Academic Research/Empowerment of Under-represented Researchers (EUR) lecture series.
The Bridge2AI program funded its firsts consortiums for data generation projects in 2022 with the goal of building large-scale multimodal databases that are AI-ready to fuel AI research. Gathering multi-disciplinary team science is not an easy task and many challenges need to be addressed and navigated to obtain tangible results. Dr. Bensoussan will share her experience in co-leading the Bridge2AI-Voice Consortium in its first year of funding and review “do's and don't’s” of Team Science.
