"Dr. Baum delivered an outstanding Grand Rounds on AI, making a complex topic accessible and relevant to our diverse clinical team. Her insights sparked meaningful conversations, and she gave us a roadmap for how AI will shape patient care and operations in the years ahead. I would not hesitate to bring her to your organization."
Natalia Dorf Biderman, MD, SFHM, Chief of Staff Elect, Methodist Hospital
"Dr. Baum's sessions on AI in healthcare were not only informative, but also highly engaging. Our residents had requested more focus on AI and were very impressed with the way Dr. Baum taught. One of our C-suite leaders shared that he was very impressed with how Dr. Baum was able to adjust and adapt her presentation based upon our audience’s feedback. We were particularly impressed that Dr. Baum took the time to meet with our CMIO to determine what we have in place at our institution presently. This resulted in a talk that resulted in immediate ability to use what learners had been taught. And, I’ve heard many positive comments from our attendees. Our learners – faculty and residents - walked away impressed by the interactive approach and feel genuinely empowered to put these new technologies into practice. We hope to have her back soon. We intend to invite Dr. Baum to return in the near future, if she is willing and able."
Dr. JoAnn Wood, Infirmary Health
