Many schools of medicine are capitalizing on the promise of these new technologies by establishing academic units to catalyze and grow research and innovation in AI/ML. At Stanford University, we have developed a successful model for an AI/ML research center with support from academic leaders, clinical departments, extramural grants, and industry partners. The Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging uses the following 4 key tactics to support AI/ML research: project-based learning opportunities that build interdisciplinary collaboration; internal grant programs that catalyze extramural funding; infrastructure that facilitates the rapid creation of large multimodal AI-ready clinical data sets; and educational and open data programs that engage the broader research community. The center is based on the premise that foundational and applied research are not in tension but instead are complementary. Solving important biomedical problems with AI/ML requires high-quality foundational team science that incorporates the knowledge and expertise of clinicians, clinician scientists, computer scientists, and data scientists. As AI/ML becomes an essential component of research and clinical care, multidisciplinary centers of excellence in AI/ML will become a key part of the scholarly portfolio of academic medical centers and will provide a foundation for the responsible, ethical, and fair implementation of AI/ML systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74127,"journal":{"name":"Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

Fine-tuning is a process in which a pretrained model, such as an LLM, is further trained on a custom data set to adapt it for specialized tasks or domains. In this review, we outline some of the major methodologic approaches and techniques that can be used to fine-tune LLMs for specialized use cases and enumerate the general steps required for carrying out LLM fine-tuning. We then illustrate a few of these methodologic approaches by describing several specific use cases of fine-tuning LLMs across medical subspecialties. Finally, we close with a consideration of some of the benefits and limitations associated with fine-tuning LLMs for specialized use cases, with an emphasis on specific concerns in the field of medicine.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74127,"journal":{"name":"Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
