AMS Healthcare Announces the 2023 Cohort of Fellows in Compassion and Artificial Intelligence

AMS Healthcare is very pleased to announce our new cohort of Fellows in Compassion and Artificial Intelligence (AI). These 12 outstanding individuals, from across multiple disciplines, have been selected by an external expert review panel as leaders to address how compassion and technology will work together to address the exponential changes occurring in healthcare today. Leaders that can evolve the way people think about healthcare. This year’s Fellows will join thirty-five Fellows from previous cadres doing collective work that is innovating every aspect of healthcare as we know it. “These highly qualified professionals and researchers have a unique opportunity to apply their talents to the burning platform in today’s healthcare system.” says AMS CEO Helen Angus. “We look forward to providing a developmental opportunity, and engaging them in our robust community of practice, to ensure that together these incredible individuals can lead changing the system to better meet the needs of our richly diverse Canadian population.”
