AIM-AHEAD Clinicians Leading Ingenuity IN AI Quality (CLINAQ) Fellowship Program
Overview and Purpose
The AIM-AHEAD Clinicians Leading Ingenuity IN AI Quality (CLINAQ) Fellowship Program is a one-year initiative (September 2, 2025 – August 31, 2026) designed to empower clinicians by integrating Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) expertise directly into clinical practice. This interdisciplinary training seeks to cultivate a workforce skilled in the evaluation, development and responsible application of robust and generalizable AI technologies. Participants will engage in comprehensive virtual and in-person didactic sessions, webinars, and interactive workshops, equipping them to effectively leverage AI innovations within clinical settings. By enhancing clinicians’ proficiency in AI/ML, the program aims to advance medical research, improve patient outcomes, and promote the creation of AI models that are scientifically rigorous, broadly applicable and aligned with the needs of all patient populations.
Program Objectives
Each fellow will be expected to conduct a research project that uses AI to address a specific challenge impacting the fellow’s clinical field. Each fellow will identify a problem, develop an AI-based solution, conduct the research, analyze the results and report the findings. Fellows will have mentors to guide them through this process and collaboratively develop AI/ML models focused on improving healthcare within their respective clinical fields. Fellows with minimal AI/ML experience will not be excluded but will need to identify an internal AI/ML mentor/collaborator in their application.
Each fellow will be expected to produce at least one peer-reviewed publication or abstract based on the fellow’s research project, fellowship experience, observations, changes in practice behavior, and implementation of AI/ML in the clinical practice or clinical research settings.
Fellows will also be responsible for co-creating a group peer-to-peer presentation and tailoring it to disseminate their newly acquired familiarity with AI/ML to a variety of clinical practice settings and specialties, in a manner that minimizes any disruption to clinical responsibilities (e.g., leading peer-to-peer sessions as part of a hospital Grand Rounds series in the year following graduation from the fellowship).”

Fellowship Information & Key Details
Satcher Health Leadership Institute (SHLI)
The vision of the Satcher Health Leadership Institute (SHLI) at Morehouse School of Medicine is to be a leading transformative force for global health equity. We are unique because of three core concepts that are not central to other health leadership institutes. Specifically, SHLI prioritizes approaches to contribute to the elimination of health disparities by encouraging leadership among underrepresented minorities; working to develop replicable standards and strategies in health leadership; and promoting and fostering a diverse and inclusive health leadership network. To do so, the Institute relies on the support of a myriad of partners and collaborators to help bolster our sustainability and success.
Rooted in the legacy of our founder, the 16th U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. David Satcher, SHLI’s mission is to create systemic change at the intersection of policy and health equity by bridging healthcare and public health, preparing future health leaders, and engaging communities. Through our efforts, we conduct population-based health studies and administer evidence-based prevention initiatives that effectively employ strategies to reduce negative health outcomes throughout socially and medically vulnerable populations. By integrating diverse sources, we provide critical insights into the impact of social, economic, and political determinants of health on historically underrepresented groups in the United States.

The Office for Educational Outreach and Health Careers (EOHC)
The Office for Educational Outreach and Health Careers (EOHC) at MSM is dedicated to increasing the number of underrepresented students in medicine and health professions. By addressing systemic barriers such as socioeconomic obstacles, limited resources, and inadequate access to pathway programs, EOHC aims to diversify the healthcare workforce. This diversity is essential for reducing health disparities and improving the quality of care for underserved communities. Our initiatives include targeted outreach, mentorship programs, financial support, and inclusive admissions practices, all designed to create pathways for students underrepresented in medicine (URiM).
Driven by MSM’s vision of advancing health equity to achieve health justice, EOHC’s mission is to cultivate a healthcare workforce that reflects the diverse needs of the community. Through innovative strategies and experiential learning, we prepare students to become future health leaders who can effectively address social determinants of health. By cultivating an environment that values diverse perspectives, we enhance patient care and contribute to more equitable healthcare delivery.
