MERIT-PSI Conference Highlights
On September 26, 2024, MERIT hosted the PSI-sponsored Visiting Scholars Event, focused on AI and healthcare research. This one-day conference invited speakers from diverse backgrounds to outline the current state-of-affairs and forecast changes in the near future. Dr. Gideon Christian (University of Calgary) explored the hidden racial biases in artificial intelligence technologies. Dr. Lorelei Lingard (Western University) described strategies for using AI as a resource to improve writing and discussed evolving cautions and concerns related to such use. And Dr. Matthew Sibbald (McMaster University) examined how medical educators will need to reconsider assessment constructs in a generative AI era.
Video recordings will be made available on the MERIT YouTube in the coming weeks. For now, check out last year’s presentations on the impacts of research HERE! |

The Game Changers podcast, brought to you by McMaster Continuing Professional Development Office, is dedicated to exploring the stories of local, bold, and diverse game changers in academia!
This series serves as an educational and inspirational resource, bringing together, highlighting, and celebrating the experiences of these individuals through rich and meaningful stories. The goal is to honor equity, diversity, inclusion (EDI), and Indigenous reconciliation priorities, which academic institutions have sought to prioritize. However, meaningful change can only occur when voices are heard and ideas are nurtured — and Game Changers aims to do exactly that.
New episodes launch monthly, offering narratives that showcase the triumphs and resilience of equity-deserving groups in STEM.
Check out the series HERE.
