51st Annual Moyers Symposium

The 51st Annual Moyers Symposium The University of Michigan is organized by University of Michigan School of Dentistry and will be held from Mar 02 - 03, 2024 at University of Michigan Rackham Graduate School, Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States of America.

Description:
The Moyers Symposium has a long history of debating the evidence behind clinically relevant topics, including issues related to digital dentistry and orthodontics. Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of a computer or computer-controlled machine to perform complex tasks that historically only a human could do, such as reasoning, decision making, or problem solving. Given the potential and actual impact of AI on patient care, health care workflow and communications, for the 2024 Moyers Symposium we have invited speakers from a variety of backgrounds, all of whom have expertise and experience in Artificial Intelligence. An introductory talk on Artificial Intelligence will be followed by speakers who will present important information on how AI can be used to enhance patient care, including the use of machine learning and natural language processing as well as benefits and risks associated with the use of AI in healthcare. A keynote talk will be presented by Dr. Chuck Friedman (Chair, Department of Learning Health Sciences, University of Michigan, Medical School) on how AI can be utilized to create learning health systems to improve efficiency and efficacy of patient care; and one by Dr. Ravi Pendse (Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer, University of Michigan) on the benefits and challenges of incorporating AI in health care and society.

In addition, the 48th Annual International Conference on Craniofacial Research (the “Presymposium”) will be held on the Friday before the Moyers Symposium, on March 1, 2024 in the Rackham Amphitheatre, located on the 4th floor of the Rackham Graduate School Building. The Presymposium conference will feature presentations by speakers and time for discussion of presented topics on orthodontic technologies, biomedical advances, treatment outcomes, and relevant craniofacial research. A Presymposium Reception will be held outside the Ampitheatre in the Rackham Building immediately following Presymposium talks on Friday. Posters with presenters will be at this Presymposium reception. You are encouraged to attend both the Presymposium and Symposium meetings.
