BME Undergrad Serves As First 'Student Ambassador' for AIMed Club

Tom Murickan, a first-year BME student, recently became the Artificial Intelligence In Medicine Club's first student ambassador. He recently started a column on the club's website "charting his quest to become an AI-assisted physician" and detailing his work to establish an AI-Med Club at his high school.

AIMed's goals are to eradicate challenges, define AI-enabled solutions, create an efficient workplace, and assist medical professionals to discover new ways to incorporate advances in technology to help the way they work.

"One thing I’ve already learnt about the AI-med community is that there are no egos involved here," Murickan wrote. "On the contrary. I’m honestly not trying to flatter you when I say that AI-med is an unfailingly welcoming, interested and encouraging community. I put it down to the community holding an unwavering belief that the next great AI breakthrough can come from anyone, anywhere – regardless of age and background."
