AMS Healthcare Excited to Announce our Second Cohort of AMS-Fitzgerald Fellowships in AI and Human-Centered Leadership
In collaboration with the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, this prestigious 2-year fellowship is tailored for early and mid-career health system leaders who are passionate about transforming healthcare through the lens of AI. Our Fellows are not just learners—they are trailblazers equipped to tackle the evolving opportunities and challenges of AI in health care, public health,
and health systems.
The AMS-Fitzgerald Fellowship champions a forward-thinking, human-centred approach to health leadership. By placing people at the heart of AI-driven solutions, our Fellows are committed to advancing compassion, equity, and excellence in healthcare. This fellowship is more than a learning experience; it’s a movement to redefine leadership in the age of AI.
This year’s cohort joins a dynamic and expanding AMS Healthcare community—a vibrant network of pioneers dedicated to reshaping healthcare with empathy and innovation. Together, we are building a future where AI and digital innovations empower leaders to deliver more compassionate and equitable healthcare.
