The Biomedical Sciences Distinguished Interdisciplinary Seminar Collaboration (BMS-DISC) event aims to bring the Biomedical Sciences department together collaboratively with another prominent life sciences department/division on campus to build stronger connections and promote cross-disciplinary partnerships. The inaugural BMS-DISC event will be a collaboration between BMS and the Division of Nutritional Sciences (DNS) We are proud to co-host Dr. Ana Domingos (Oxford, Dept. of Physiology, Anatomy, and Genetics), an internationally recognized scientist and dedicated educator, whose research...

The conference theme will focus on assessment, particularly within the context of a competency-based curriculum. Assessing clinical reasoning, communication and professionalism present challenges that differ from those focused on assessing technical skills. Together, we will consider questions such as: What approaches are most successful for teaching “invisible” skills such as professionalism and clinical reasoning? When students’ performance does not meet expectations, what sorts of remediation are most effective? How much is enough, and are the results reliable? What biases underlie...

Artificial intelligence is a broad and growing discipline that touches many facets of everyday life for humans and is more recently emerging in veterinary medicine through topics like companion animal health, population medicine and zoonotic diseases, and digital agriculture and food sustainability. While there has been considerable growth in the use of AI in human medicine, to date, there has been no concerted effort to bring veterinarians practitioners and AI researchers together and share knowledge. This symposium, the first of its kind, will provide a forum for veterinarians, computer...
