Dr. Eric Ford, Professor of Public Health Policy and Organization, will explain how AI can help speed up test results, giving patients clearer answers sooner and easing some of the worry that comes with waiting. He'll also talk about how AI can spot potential risks earlier, helping care teams head off problems before they become serious.

This webinar will show how AI can bring more clarity to tough or confusing medical questions by comparing large sets of similar cases - something especially helpful for hard-to-diagnose conditions. You'll also hear how these systems can sort and check information behind the scenes so that care decisions become more consistent and more personalized to each patient's needs.

About Our Guest

Dr. Ford is a UAB alum and Professor in the School of Public health, with a joint appointment in the Collat School of Business. His work focuses on how health information technologies, value-based programs, and integrated care models shape performance and improve patient outcomes.

Before returning to UAB as faculty, he held leadership and academic positions at Johns Hopkins University and UNC Greensboro. He currently serves as Editor of the Journal of Healthcare Management and has received multiple publication awards, along with the Academy of Management's Health Care Management Division Teaching Award.

In the presentation, I will discuss our recent work on the development of hierarchically porous polymer scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Emulsion templating is combined with a ‘lost-wax’ casting approach to create highly porous (84% porosity) polyester materials with fully interconnected pores of approx. mean diameter 20 microns together with a network of much larger diameter (500 micron) intersecting channels. The network of smaller pores allows cellular infiltration, nutrient exchange, oxygen permeation and removal of waste while the channels facilitate mineralization and vascularization in vivo. Scaffolds in both bulk and granular forms have been investigated; the former for long bone defect repair, while the latter in combination with a self-setting biocompatible gel are suitable for use in non-load bearing, irregular defects such as in cranial/maxillofacial contexts. Materials characterization and biological evaluation, both in vitro and in vivo, together with recent commercialization activities, will be discussed.

This webinar is part of a three-part series from UAB Libraries, "Communicate Clearly. Connect Meaningfully. Confirm Understanding," designed to empower health care teams to break down medical jargon and improve patient outcomes. According to the CDC, nearly 9 out of 10 adults struggle to understand health information. This workshop series aims to build upon UAB Medicine’s goal to provide patient-centered care. It will provide tools to raise awareness of how health literacy affects patient care and provide strategies to address low health literacy. Each webinar will help participants communicate clearly, connect meaningfully with patients, and confirm patient understanding. Each session is distinct, so come to one or all.

During this webinar, we welcome Dr. Christopher Ballmann, Associate Professor of Kinesiology. Dr. Ballmann will dive into the fast-growing world of nutrition supplements and exercise, cutting through the noise to reveal what truly fuels performance.

From protein powders to pre-workouts, he'll sort out the "power boosts" from the "empty boasts," helping you understand which products can help and which might just be hype. You'll also learn how supplements interact with training routines and how to align them with your personal fitness goals.

Whether you're a weekend warrior, a dedicated gym-goer, or simply curious about this science, this session offers insights for every level. Expect practical takeaways you can put to work the next time you hit the gym, track, or trail.

About Our Guest

Dr. Ballmann is an Associate Professor of Kinesiology in the Department of Human Studies, Director of the UAB Resistance Exercise Physiology Laboratory, and a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine. A versatile and innovative scientist, he explores both basic and applied approaches to understanding how the body and mind respond to exercise, music, ergogenic aids, and performance demands.

His primary research centers on how music can enhance physical ability and improve psychophysiological responses during exercise - benefiting everyone from competitive athletes to individuals in clinical populations such as those with Parkinson's disease. In addition to his music-related work, Dr. Ballmann investigates how nutritional supplements influence training and performance, with particular interest in sympathomimetics and other stimulants used by athletes and recreational exercisers.

This multi-session class explores the creative process from painting to wearable design. Participants begin by creating abstract pour paintings, experimenting with color, movement, and composition. In later sessions, they transform elements of their artwork into custom jewelry pieces. The class combines visual art and design, encouraging experimentation, personal expression, and an understanding of how artwork can evolve across mediums. (Ages: 6th Grade - Adult).

Rhonda Henry is a multidisciplinary artist and jewelry designer based in Alabama. Through her brand, Rhondikreations, she explores the harmony of color, pattern, and texture, creating handcrafted pieces that transform art into wearable expression.
