The 51st Annual Moyers Symposium
March 2 – March 3 EST
The Moyers Symposium has a long history of debating the evidence behind clinically relevant topics, including issues related to digital dentistry and orthodontics. Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of a computer or computer-controlled machine to perform complex tasks that historically only a human could do, such as reasoning, decision making, or problem solving. Given the potential and actual impact of AI on patient care, health care workflow and communications, for the 2024 Moyers Symposium we have invited speakers from a variety of backgrounds, all of whom have expertise and experience in Artificial Intelligence. An introductory talk on Artificial Intelligence will be followed by speakers who will present important information on how AI can be used to enhance patient care, including the use of machine learning and natural language processing as well as benefits and risks associated with the use of AI in healthcare. A keynote talk will be presented by Dr. Chuck Friedman (Chair, Department of Learning Health Sciences, University of Michigan, Medical School) on how AI can be utilized to create learning health systems to improve efficiency and efficacy of patient care.
In addition, the 47th Annual International Conference on Craniofacial Research (the “Presymposium”) will be held on the Friday before the Moyers Symposium, on March 1, 2024 in the Kellogg Auditorium of the School of Dentistry. The Presymposium conference will feature presentations by speakers and time for discussion of presented topics on orthodontic digital technologies, biomedical advances, and relevant craniofacial research. A Presymposium Reception will be held outside the Kellogg Auditorium in the School of Dentistry immediately following Presymposium talks on Friday. You are encouraged to attend both the Presymposium and Symposium meetings.
The Moyers Symposium honors Dr. Robert E Moyers, the former chair of the Department of Orthodontics and founding director of the Center for Human Growth and Development, an interdisciplinary research unit on the Ann Arbor campus. In addition to the speaker talks, we hope you will join us at our University of Michigan Alumni and Friends Reception, to be held at the nearby Graduate Hotel in Ann Arbor on Saturday evening.
