With an eye toward innovation, VUMC researchers and clinicians are actively changing the future of medicine and improving clinical outcomes every day.

VUMC has opened ADVANCE, an informatics center focused on artificial intelligence (AI) that brings together experts to collaborate and further the evolution of AI applications in health care.

Meanwhile, at the Vanderbilt Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy, programs have been developed to identify unprofessional behavior that impacts patient care. The center also offers support to help turn it around, saving health systems millions in malpractice claims.

Changing medicine doesn't end with this generation of physicians. VUMC medical educator Neil Osheroff, Ph.D., sat down with Discoveries in Medicine to discuss his boundary-pushing curriculum and what it takes to create physicians you would be happy to see as a patient.
