On Friday, January 19th, Academic Technology Services hosted a special Zoom Faculty Forum on Teaching with AI in STEM, with a focus on the perspectives of veterinary medical education.

We heard first from invited participants who have been exploring AI in VetMed, but with applications to many of the classes we teach in other disciplines.

Featured panelists: Below you will find the names of participants in a leadership academy through the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges. As part of the academy, these scholars from various American and Canadian universities have been tasked to work on a project to assess integration of artificial intelligence in veterinary medical education.
