Working in close partnership with the UCSF Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Dentistry, the CHAIO helps ensure that Health AI strategies support the educational mission by preparing current and future healthcare professionals to effectively, safely, and ethically incorporate AI into clinical practice while recognizing the unique needs of learners participating in patient care and clinical training environments. The CHAIO serves as a visible ambassador for UCSF Health within the national Health AI community (particularly in the Bay Area), developing trusted relationships with technology leaders, entrepreneurs, venture investors, academic collaborators, and public-sector organizations to foster collaboration, influence emerging healthcare AI practices, and identify opportunities that advance UCSF Health's strategic priorities.
