Interested in using artificial intelligence in admissions and selection but have questions about equity, privacy, and validity? Check out our principles to guide the use of #AI in medical school and residency selection https://lnkd.in/gd5KFgms #ArtificialIntelligence #meded
Many medical schools and residency programs are exploring using AI in their admissions and selection processes. These institutions can advance toward more efficient, effective, fair, and informed selection processes by thoughtfully applying AI. To help guide this work, the AAMC – in collaboration with a multidisciplinary technical advisory committee – developed key principles to guide the design and use of AI-based selection systems, including: 1️⃣ Balance Prediction and Understanding 2️⃣ Protect Against Algorithmic Bias 3️⃣ Provide Notice and Explanation 4️⃣ Protect Data Privacy 5️⃣ Incorporate Human Judgment 6️⃣ Monitor and Evaluate Read more about applying these principles at https://ow.ly/lvSo50SXOoK.

The newly launched AAMC Black Women in Scientific Research (BWiSR) project amplifies the voices and experiences of Black women researchers in academic medicine, demonstrating that when Black women are the authors of their own narratives, it provides essential perspectives beyond what quantitative data can reveal. Using intersectionality as a framework, the AAMC BWiSR project highlights biomedical researchers representing the career spectrum, from early-career pioneers to mid-career leaders and established experts. These researchers offer their perspectives on the challenges and triumphs encountered throughout their research journeys: confronting prevailing narratives, giving visibility to current Black women in research, increasing awareness of disparities facing this group, empowering and encouraging future researchers, and amplifying the value of representation.

Leaders of the AAMC Group on Student Affairs (GSA), Careers in Medicine, and Organization of Program Director Associations (OPDA) are collaborating to increase transparency in the residency application process through use of a Residency Guide template for each specialty. Seventeen specialties are already participating this year in this pilot project. All Residency Guides for participating specialties can be found on the ERAS 2025 Participating Specialties and Programs webpage. Please share this resource broadly with students, advisors, and program directors at your institution. https://ow.ly/I0zv50T1vB0

67 days: that's often how long people wait for a mental health appointment in the United States, research shows. In mental health urgent care clinics, the wait can be just hours or minutes. AAMCNews looks at how these clinics, some of which are open 24/7, are working to help patients in crisis and keep them out of crowded emergency departments. Clinics vary in their approaches, ages treated, and hours available — with some open 24/7. all aim to help patients avoid crowded and chaotic emergency departments. Often, patients treated are experiencing a spike in depression or anxiety, says Carlos Guerra, MD, a psychiatrist at Memorial Hermann’s Mental Health Crisis Clinics in Houston, but needs span a range. “I’ve seen everything from a first-time psychotic break to an immigrant who needed medications because hers got left behind in Nicaragua," he says. AAMCNews spoke with Hackensack Meridian Health, Rochester Regional Health, Memorial Hermann Health System, and Northwell Health about the growing model at their institutions. Learn more about this phenomenon and its pluses and minuses — and let us know below if your institution offers one. https://ow.ly/N5of50T3pBe #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthSupport
