SAVE THE DATE: INTELLIGENCE WITH INTENTION
Join the Western Canadian Health Care Educators’ Association (WCCHSE) for Intelligence with Intention, a new webinar series exploring the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in health science education and healthcare.
The series will bring together guest speakers to share knowledge, practical insights and educational resources that support faculty and clinical and health educators in building AI fluency. Our goal is to help educators better understand, navigate and support the use of AI among students and healthcare professionals in clinical and educational settings.
First Webinar: Artificial Intelligence Workforce Readiness
DATE: Monday, January 25th
TIME: 4:00–5:00 PM (PCT)
Explore what it means to prepare the healthcare workforce for an increasingly AI-enabled environment. This session will introduce important considerations for AI workforce readiness and its implications for health science education and practice.
Be Part of the Conversation
Artificial intelligence is changing healthcare and health science education. How do we prepare educators, students and future healthcare professionals to use it thoughtfully, confidently and responsibly?
Intelligence with Intention creates an opportunity to learn, share resources and explore these questions together.
All sessions will be recorded and made available through the WCCHSE collaborators’ video repository for continued learning and resource sharing.
