Project Funded by UT REAL Health AI Pilot Program
Our project receives $300,000 from the UT System UT REAL Health AI Pilot Program to scale AI-powered simulation assessment across six UT medical schools over 18 months.
Our project, “Scaling and Validating AI-Enabled Simulation Assessment Across University of Texas Medical Schools,” has been selected for funding under the AI Collaboration category of the UT REAL Health AI Pilot Program — a UT System initiative supporting collaborative, implementation-focused AI across UT Health-Related Institutions.
The 18-month project, led by Andrew Jamieson, PhD (PI) and Judah Gruen, MD (Co-PI) at UT Southwestern, will prepare MAPLES for phased, governed deployment with five partner institutions: UT Health Houston, UT Tyler, UT Rio Grande Valley, UT Health San Antonio, and UTMB Galveston.
The grant builds on three years of production deployment at UTSW across 7,000+ encounters. A 300-encounter retrospective medRxiv preprint reported three-camera AI grading agreement of quadratic weighted kappa = 0.830 against a physician-adjudicated reference, compared with 0.732 for standard human evaluators against the same reference.
