AI in Clinical Research Fellowships (13 Sep 2023)

In this episode, Dr Marilena Giannoudi finds out more about artificial intelligence (AI) from Dr Joshua Au Yeung. They discuss what AI means and Dr Joshua Au Yeung explains how AI is used as a tool to help clinicians. They explore key skills that are needed to work in AI, such as coding, and Dr Joshua Au Yeung goes on to encourage anyone interested in AI to reach out to find out more and commit to the field as soon as they can. Dr Joshua Au Yeung is a Specialty Registrar in Neurology working in London who recently undertook an Out Of Programme Experience (OOPE) as a Clinical Research Fellow in Artificial Intelligence to gain a deeper understanding of AI in healthcare. This involved working with a team called "Cogstack" operating primarily in Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital and King's College Hospital, an NHS-grown group that works to implement natural language processing (text-based AI) into clinical departments. Dr Marilena Giannoudi is a Cardiology Registrar based in Leeds. She is a member of the Trainees and Members’ Committee, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and is currently undertaking a PhD. -- Links -- https://www.aicentre.co.uk/fellowships https://www.gmc-uk.org/education/standards-guidance-and-curricula/guidance/out-of-programme https://digital.nhs.uk/ -- Related episode -- We released a podcast episode on Clinical AI in October 2021.
