A significant portion of data in the healthcare industry exists as narrative text, such as clinical notes in electronic health record (EHR) systems, clinical trial descriptions, biomedical literature, and consumer-generated content on social media and online forums. With the advancements in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, valuable insights, such as symptoms and causal relationships between medical concepts, can be extracted from various text data to aid in clinical decision-making and improve healthcare outcomes.

The dream of precision health is to develop a data-driven, continuous learning system where new health information is instantly incorporated to optimize care delivery and accelerate biomedical discovery. In reality, the health ecosystem is plagued by overwhelming unstructured data and unscalable manual processing. Self-supervised AI such as large language models (LLMs) can supercharge structuring of biomedical data and accelerate transformation towards precision health

This practical webinar will look at what mentoring is, and why it can make a difference. Mentoring has long been recognized as a powerful tool in career development. Research backs this, showing mentored individuals to have higher career satisfaction and greater commitment to their profession than non-mentored individuals. Additionally, the mentoring relationship can benefit both parties providing multiple rewards.
