My interest in AI started with an NSERC research term during my undergraduate BSc in Computer Science where we explored the use of machine learning in forecasting populations. With my acceptance into medical school, I hoped to make use of my previous experience which is why I joined AIMSS. My hope as President is to make the USask Chapter of AIMSS a hub for not just AI-related resources but tech resources in general for medical students. There’s a lot of potential with the new advancements in technology in medicine and I hope to make AIMSS be at the forefront of it!
