UF College of Medicine launches AI in biomedical and health sciences master’s program
With workforce preparedness top of mind, the University of Florida College of Medicine is debuting the Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical and Health Sciences, or AIBHS, program this fall — one of a few graduate programs of its kind in the nation.
The master’s program, which will span the UF College of Medicine campuses in Gainesville and Jacksonville, will equip graduates with the knowledge and skills to make impactful contributions in the emerging intersection between AI and clinical care, said Azra Bihorac, M.D., M.S., FCCM, FASN, who will serve as program director.
“Integrating artificial intelligence with biomedical and health sciences isn’t just aspirational — it’s essential,” said Bihorac, a professor in the UF departments of Medicine, Surgery and Anesthesiology and the College of Medicine’s senior associate dean of research. “This program will equip our students with the analytical and scientific skills needed to solve some of the most complex challenges in medicine, from predicting disease to personalizing treatments. It positions our graduates, and our institution, to lead in a rapidly evolving field.”
