Emily Evers, assistant director of admissions and recruitment for the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences, and Jay Metzger, Ph.D., chair of UND's Physician Assistant (PA) program, meet with Dr. Jenkins and recap their first year of efforts for 'North Dakota 85,' the goal of increasing enrollment of North Dakota natives in the school's M.D. and PA programs by 2030.

Dr. Jenkins speaks with Aerica Nagornyuk, a graduate student in UND’s Department of Biomedical Sciences. A North Dakota native, Nagornyuk chatted with Dr. Jenkins about getting hooked on research early and how you don’t need to be from someplace big to accomplish big things.

Richard Van Eck, Ph.D., is the David and Lola Rognlie Monson Endowed Chair for Medical Education at UND’s School of Medicine & Health Sciences. In his role as chair of the School's Artificial Intelligence Committee (AIC), he spoke with the School's Dean Dr. Marjorie Jenkins about the transformational changes that artificial intelligence and machine learning have already produced in health care and health care education, and the challenge of integrating AI as it continues to evolve.
