Projects are becoming larger and more complex, and we spend an increasing amount of time either managing projects or contributing to projects. Webinar participants will learn a PM tool that can be used to improve their level of success. They will also hear about the courses that are part of Dalhousie’s Certificate in Project Management and have an opportunity to ask questions about the program. https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_PgOsA2M1RzOifyDFjszn0QRegister

Artificial intelligence (AI) research is poised to become a transformational force in healthcare, with potential applications being demonstrated across various clinical domains. However, there are currently limited examples of such techniques being successfully deployed into clinical practice. In this lecture, Dr. Jordan Engbers will present the general challenges of bringing AI into medicine, with a special focus on imaging and treatment planning. Jordan will discuss examples of failures and successes, and considerations for implementation in practice through the use of case studies for imaging, diagnosis, clinical prediction, and treatment planning. This webinar will be presented in English. A recording will be available with English and French subtitles. Register

Understanding the concepts of structural design and systematic design procedures helps architects, construction professionals and builders select appropriate structural systems and building materials for their projects. Learning drafting using AutoCAD through separate program would help complete the structural design and prepare the set of design drawings that will be taken to the job-site where the project becomes reality, through a step by step procedure of construction management program, including: planning, cost analysis, procurement, contract administration, quality control and quality assurance, risk assessment and dispute resolution. This webinar will give an overview on three programs, Structural Engineering, AutoCAD, and, Construction Management, and explain the link between them to complete the life cycle of a project. Bonus / Take-away: You will receive a diagram explaining the procurement process in a project. Register

While there is considerable interest in developing data science models in healthcare, its application into clinical practice and healthcare decision-making can be challenging. In this talk, Dr. Mamdani will use examples of applied date science initiatives to highlight how data scientists can work more closely with end-users such as clinicians and healthcare decision-makers in improving the utility of their work to ultimately improve patient outcomes and healthcare system efficiency. Dr. Mamdani will also discuss the fundamental principles and techniques for processing and analysis of big data in healthcare settings, and how healthcare participants can apply this new knowledge in the context of their own work. This webinar will be presented in English. A recording will be available with English and French subtitles. Register
