We are excited to share that Laura Irvin, LCI’s Nurse Planner, was featured as a guest on the “Let’s Chat Accredibility” podcast! In the episode titled “AI Considerations in Accredited Education,” Laura joined hosts Jenn Bodine and Jillian Russell for an in-depth discussion on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in the world of accredited education.

Laura brought her expertise to the discussion, focusing on the cautions and limitations of AI in the education and healthcare landscape. She emphasized the critical need to use AI responsibly, ensuring that its integration enhances—not undermines—educational integrity. Laura highlighted how NPD practitioners are particularly well-positioned to evaluate AI’s potential and risks. With their deep understanding of both education and clinical practice, NPDs are uniquely trained to assess AI tools, ensuring they are used thoughtfully and ethically. Their expertise also positions them to influence AI implementation and evaluation in the workplace, ensuring that AI serves to support healthcare professionals while safeguarding educational quality and patient care outcomes.

It was a lively and insightful discussion, and we encourage everyone interested in the intersection of technology and education to tune in! You can catch this episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or where ever you get your podcasts.

Congratulations, Laura, for representing the work of NPDs and sharing your knowledge on such a timely and important topic!
