Center for Health Equity using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (CHEMA)
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming health care and medical practice at a rapid rate. The University of Illinois College of Medicine has a unique role to play in AI/ML research by bringing to this work an equity approach that ensures that health disparities are addressed. The College of Medicine has established the Center for Health Equity using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (CHEMA) to support research, training, and education in this domain.
In its initial phase of growth, CHEMA will support two major initiatives:
- Faculty recruitment/domain hiring
- Postdoctoral appointments
Faculty recruitment / domain hiring
