Cornelius James, MD, FACP, is an Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Learning Health Sciences at the University of Michigan Medical School (UMMS), where he practices as a primary care physician. Dr. James is the Director of the UMMS Evidence-Based Medicine Curricular Thread which equips students with essential skills for lifelong learning and evidence-based clinical practice. Dr. James also leads the interdisciplinary Data Augmented Technology Assisted Medical Decision Making (DATA-MD) team, which has developed innovative curricula to prepare clinicians for the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the health system.
Dr. James's career focuses on empowering clinicians to integrate digital health technologies, including AI, into their practice to augment decision-making and improve patient outcomes.
