Senior Associate Dean for Research
At the School of Medicine Columbia, we are harnessing the power of AI to advance research, education, and patient care. Guided by the University of South Carolina’s enduring commitment to innovation and discovery, AI at SOMC fosters collaboration, hands-on learning, and interdisciplinary partnerships that promote the responsible and transformative use of AI across medicine and science.
Participate in a MEDRI-approved pilot study comparing a customized curriculum-aligned ChatGPT-based “study buddy” with usual study methods during pathology SDL. Engage critically with both approaches across two cases, provide brief reflections, and contribute to research shaping the future integration of AI in medical education.
Sign up through this link by Thursday, Jan. 22nd, to participate. Sign-up space in limited, so sign up today to shape the future of medical education with AI!
Contact Ioulia Chatzistamou, PhD at Ioulia.Chatzistamou@uscmed.sc.edu or Kasie Roark at kasie.roark@uscmed.sc.edu with any questions.
