All Events

In this collaborative seminar, students will be introduced to the critical appraisal of research literature by evaluating one of three recent studies in the field: Health Care Equity in the Use of Advanced Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Primary Care by Clark et al., 2021, The automation of bias in medical Artificial Intelligence (AI): Decoding the past to create a better future by Straw, 2020, and Deep learning prediction of sex on chest radiographs: a potential contributor to biased algorithms by Lee et al., 2020. Students will leave the event employed with a new perspective on interprofessional approaches to identifying implicit biases in research, as well as newfound knowledge of how we can address concerns regarding the implementation of AI and ML in healthcare.

IPE Event:

In this collaborative seminar, students will be introduced to the critical appraisal of research literature by evaluating a real study in the field (Efficacy of Paroxetine in the Treatment of Adolescent Major Depression: A Randomized, Controlled Trial by Keller et al., 2001). Students will then be exposed to interprofessional strategies for the critical appraisal of research literature, and methods of identifying pharmaceutical influence in psychiatric research and clinical practice before applying these skills to evaluate the assigned paper. Students will leave the event employed with a new perspective on interprofessional approaches to identifying implicit biases in research, as well as methods to specifically mitigate commercial bias in psychiatry research.

Learning objectives include: developing a foundational knowledge of commercial/pharmaceutical bias in the context of psychiatric clinical-decision making; conflict resolution, and communication skills required to promote patient/client/family community-centred care while balancing stakeholder interests; and working collaboratively as part of an interprofessional healthcare team to identify and mitigate biases in the research literature
