The integration of artificial intelligence into health care presents both challenges and opportunities for health worker well-being. It's essential to examine how AI can support our health workforce in providing high-quality care rather than exacerbate existing issues. Join the National Academy of Medicine’s "Orienting AI Toward Health Workforce Well-Being" event, co-hosted with UC San Diego Health. This meeting on December 9 will focus on strategies to effectively integrate AI while prioritizing the well-being of health workers: https://lnkd.in/gF-xGDD7

About us
Founded in 1970 as the Institute of Medicine (IOM), the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) is one of three Academies that make up the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies) in the United States. Operating under the 1863 Congressional charter of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academies are private, nonprofit institutions that work outside of government to provide objective advice on matters of science, technology, and health. Studies from the National Academies are often congressionally mandated or commissioned by government agencies, and their recommendations can have lasting impact on domestic and global policy.

“You learn more from failure—when things are not working well.” In a new interview in Issues in Science and Technology, #NobelPrize laureate Katalin Karikó talks about the joy of solving interesting puzzles. Karikó was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2022.
Katalin Karikó is a pioneer in research on messenger RNA (mRNA) and its medical possibilities; with her colleague Drew Weissman, she developed the type of mRNA that eventually made possible the COVID-19 vaccines which saved millions of lives worldwide. In a new interview with Issues in Science and Technology, Karikó talks about her childhood in Hungary, the joys and challenges of bench science, her struggle to find support for her RNA research, and the experience of finding herself suddenly in the spotlight.
