AMS Announces 2022 Fellows in Compassion and Artificial Intelligence
AMS Healthcare is excited to announce the 2022 Research Fellows in Compassion and Artificial Intelligence. These 13 outstanding individuals, from across multiple disciplines, have been selected by an external expert review panel as leaders and innovators to address the challenges facing healthcare. The “AMS Compassion and AI” program focusses on promoting the integration of digital technology and compassionate care in the delivery of health care services, education of health professionals as well as facilitating the leadership needed to realize the promise of technology. This year’s 2022 Fellows will join the twenty-two Fellows from the 2020 and 2021 cadres doing collective research that is innovating every aspect of healthcare as we know it. “Co-operation between technology and healthcare is not enough on its own.” says AMS CEO Helen Angus. “The work of these incredibly talented individuals will ensure the most decisive factor is the inclusion of compassion.”
The call for the AMS 2023 Fellowships in Compassion and AI will open on November 1, 2022.
