American Board of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine aims to educate and certify healthcare professionals in AI – DOTmed HealthCare Business News

The American Board of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (ABAIM) is pleased to announce its recent incorporation as a not-for-profit entity. The ABAIM plans to credential healthcare professionals and anyone else who seeks a greater understanding of the growing role and use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) solutions in health care.

Spearheading this effort is Orest Boyko, MD, PhD, Associate Professor (Research) of Psychology at The USC Michelson Center for Convergent Bioscience Bridge Institute, located at the University of Southern California; and Anthony Chang, MD, Chief Intelligence and Innovation Officer at the Sharon Disney Lund Medical Intelligence and Innovation Institute (MI3) at Childrens Hospital of Orange County, Orange, CA. Dr. Chang is also the author of an upcoming book entitled Intelligence-Based Medicine: Principles and Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Human Cognition in Clinical Medicine and Healthcare and is the Editor-in-Chief of Intelligence-Based Medicine, an open access peer-review journal, published by Elsevier. Both are actively involved in the development and application of AI, ML, and DL in medicine.

Co-chaired by Dr. Boyko and Dr. Chang, ABAIMs growing board comprises professionals from an array of multidisciplinary and institutional backgrounds. These currently include: Matthew Lungren, MD, Assistant Professor of Radiology, Stanford University Medical Center; Kevin Maher, Professor of Pediatrics, Emory University School of Medicine; Spyro Mousses, PhD, CEO, Systems Oncology; Tanveer Syeda-Mahmood, PhD, IBM Fellow & Chief Scientist, IBM Research; Sharief Taraman, MD, Health Science Associate Professor, UC Irvine School of Medicine; and Dennis Wall, PhD, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Biomedical Data Science, Stanford Medical School.

Dr. Chang continued, The birth of the ABAIM is a tremendously exciting and major milestone in bringing AI education and certification to all healthcare providers. The ABAIMs modular curriculum will enable a wide range of healthcare professionals, including clinicians, executives, technicians, and nurses, as well as patients, data scientists, and information technology personnel, to become knowledgeable in the application of AI, ML, and DL tools and technologies. Our vision of creating synergy between healthcare and AI-related technologies will bring about a new paradigm of intelligence-based medicine and transform health care for everyone.
