ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE moving medicine forward
The University of Florida is making artificial intelligence the centerpiece of a major, long-term initiative that is combining world-class research infrastructure, leading-edge research and a transformational approach to curriculum. At the College of Medicine, clinician-scientists are developing AI-enabled systems to guide perioperative and acute care decision-making, data scientists are working to solve big data problems to spur data-driven medicine and basic scientists are advancing AI-enhanced methods for analyzing molecular data — all to answer questions that will drive us to improve health outcomes and patient care.
Fueling the future
Transforming medical education
While the College of Medicine’s clinicians and researchers are pioneering the use of AI in the medical field, learners and trainees are taking a deep dive into one of the nation’s first curriculums at the intersection of AI and medical education. The series of interactive online courses leverage animations and videos to teach medical students and clinicians how AI can improve medicine. Distinctive in both content and approach, these courses put UF at the forefront of AI in medical learning. The courses are also eligible for CME credit.
AI-ENABLED INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE CARE
New Quality & Patient Safety Initiative
The UF College of Medicine has received $10 million annually in state appropriations to launch an artificial intelligence-enabled Quality & Patient Safety initiative, or QPSi.
Featured event
College to host AI4Health conference in April
The University of Florida’s second annual AI4Health: Improving Health Through Artificial Intelligence will explore how AI-enabled discoveries will change clinical practice and improve patients’ health.
REVOLUTIONIZING PATIENT CARE
Office of AI Application and Innovation
A multidisciplinary team at the College of Medicine Office of AI Application and Innovation is advancing the science and practice of patient safety using AI tools.
AI/QI Program
Through AI Labs for Patient Safety and Rapid AI Prototyping and Development Safety mechanisms, we explore and apply AI solutions to QI challenges.
AI in Medical Education
We are developing a series of AI courses intended for physician learners. Aside from being prepared to address patient questions about AI in health care, these courses will develop a clinical workforce that is “collaboration-ready” to accelerate multidisciplinary teamwork with AI engineers.
AI Governance & Integration
We work with the College of Medicine Office of Research to develop pathways to successfully and sustainably translate AI solutions into clinical workflows that directly impact patient care.

New faculty will join a multi-college network of investigators harnessing AI to benefit science and health in exciting new ways. UF Health is strengthening infrastructure and augmenting expertise to expand AI research, applications and training in health care delivery, biomedical discovery, and public and population health.
AI ACROSS THE CURRICULUM
BOLDLY FUELING THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Artificial intelligence is more than just the next wave of high-tech. It is transforming nearly every sector of the economy. Using AI to analyze massive amounts of data has dramatically affected communications, accounting, finance, transportation, medicine, agriculture and more.
The University of Florida is making artificial intelligence the centerpiece of a major, long-term initiative that is combining world-class research infrastructure, cutting-edge research, and a transformational approach to curriculum. Its depth is making the university a leader in AI research and development; its breadth will make sure every UF student develops a basic competency in AI regardless of their field of study.
Health care delivery
AI-enhanced health care decision-making and precision health.
Biomedical discovery
AI-fueled development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics.
Public and population health
