Interdisciplinary

AI in Medicine, AIM, is a student-led organization dedicated to advancing the understanding and integration of artificial intelligence in medicine. Our mission is to foster an interdisciplinary community of scholars passionate about AI, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to revolutionize the healthcare sector. We aim to stimulate intellectual curiosity and provide practical AI education through workshops, guest lectures, research projects, and discussions about ethical considerations in AI in medicine.

At WashU, AIM serves as an enriching platform that enhances student life by cultivating a space for innovation, collaboration, and professional growth. We believe that the future of medicine is intertwined with the capabilities of AI and it is essential for the next generation of medical professionals to be well-versed in this field. By participating in our club, students will have the opportunity to stay at the forefront of emerging medical technology trends, build valuable networks with like-minded peers and professionals, and contribute to cutting-edge research. Through these experiences, AIM strives to empower WashU School of Medicine students to become pioneering leaders in the intersection of AI and healthcare.

MedSpan is a student group dedicated to improving medical Spanish fluency in healthcare providers through a series of educational sessions. Completing the series of sessions will prepare students to take the Clinician Cultural and Linguistic Assessment (CCLA), which provides certification to speak with Spanish-speaking patients and families without the use of an interpreter. We welcome all students.

Sickle Cell Hotspotting works with sickle cell patients identified in clinic or in the hospital by providers as potentially benefiting from follow-up to address social determinants of health. Medical students will contact them for follow-up.

Have you ever experienced the heartbreak of witnessing your “invincible” succulent stage a dramatic exit? Not sure why you can read a 12-lead EKG but not a slightly yellow leaf? Sick and tired of using dried-up or store-bought herbs in your cooking? Look no further. Welcome to the GanGreen Thumbs, WashU’s med school’s only gardening club. Our club is dedicated to helping med school students discover the art of caring for plants. We’re here to share practical gardening knowledge, skills, hands-on support, and to build a community where students can share successes, troubleshoot challenges, and take meaningful breaks from medical school. Together, we’ll build and care for a community garden, which you’ll be able to access for all your vegetable and herb needs.
