Sessions are held online on the 2^nd Tuesday of the month, 12:00 PM – 12:45 PM (during the academic year).

The goal of this on-line Journal Club series is to discuss peer-reviewed published articles that raise or address ethical implications of using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in medical education, patient care, biomedical research, and healthcare administration.

To do this, the Journal Club brings together an interdisciplinary group of faculty who represent the fields of bioethics and clinical informatics. The Journal Club is also open to other members of the University of Iowa community as well as members of the public.
