Mayo Clinic’s Overgaard Says Simulation Can Help Close the AI Translation Gap

Shauna Overgaard, PhD, Senior Director of AI Strategy and Frameworks at Mayo Clinic, discusses an emerging approach that tests selected AI tools in the simulation center, with standardized patients, before clinical use. She describes the workflow shadowing that changed how Mayo's review board weighs proposals, the exploratory work on bringing clinicians into evaluation, and a reliability cue in development for patients a model may serve less well.
