Artificial Intelligence (AI) Fellowship in Cardiovascular Disease
The “future is here” might be a trite and overused phrase but it truly is almost here when it comes to harnessing the power of machine learning to advance cardiovascular care. A quickly evolving field, artificial intelligence (AI) offers endless possibilities with Northwestern Medicine leading the way. In a bold move to revolutionize the practice of cardiovascular medicine, we have launched a first-of-its-kind fellowship cardiovascular disease to mentor the next generation of clinicians in the emerging area of AI.
This one-year training program will involve experienced faculty members from both Northwestern Medicine Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute and Northwestern University’s McCormick School of Engineering and will be geared toward cardiology, cardiac surgery and internal medicine trainees.
This training program begins with one quarter of intensive immersion in computation, programming and statistics that serve as the foundation for learning more advanced computational approaches. The subsequent three-quarter sequence in AI, machine learning (ML) and data science will focus on the knowledge and skills needed to address the exploration and use of AI and ML systems in the development of new healthcare solutions.
Prerequisites:
Successful candidates will hold a graduate doctoral degree (MD, DO) prior to beginning the fellowship, and a current, valid medical license (non-restricted).
Applicants currently in clinical programs should expect that a majority of their time will be devoted to classwork, and should arrange to apply during their research year.
How To apply:
Interested candidates should send the following materials to bcvi.msai@nm.org for review by our selection committee:
- Letter of Interest
- Current, Curriculum Vitae
- 3 letters of recommendation
- One from current (or most recent) ACGME Program Director
- Two from faculty familiar with your work clinically or academically
Qualified fellows will be invited to submit further materials.
