Workshop -1

1. Title of the Workshop

AI-Driven Method for Creating Anatomy Micro-Modules to Incorporate with Clinical Skills

2. Theme / Focus Area

Clinical Anatomy Education

3. Objectives of the Workshop

Contemporary medical curricula emphasize early clinical integration. Anatomy faculty are expected to contextualize gross and microscopic structures within clinical skills teaching. However, many anatomists may not be fully conversant with the details of general and systemic clinical examination. This creates a gap between foundational anatomical knowledge and its application in bedside teaching.

The workshop will equip anatomy educators with the skills to use clinical examination images and generative AI in order to identify key anatomical concepts, verify factual accuracy, and develop concise PowerPoint slides for high-yield, clinically relevant anatomy micro-modules for 2nd and 3rd-year medical students.

4. Target Audience

Anatomy Faculty Members and Anatomy Postgraduate Students

5. Duration & Schedule

• Date: 2/4/2026
• Venue: (Specify – e.g., Seminar Hall with projector, laptops and Wi-Fi facility at NIMS University) Participants should bring their own laptop for presentations through the projector.

Workshop - 2

1. Title of the Workshop

Translating Research into Evidence: A Practical Workshop on Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

2. Theme / Focus Area

This workshop focuses on the optimal and responsible use of freely available tools to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and reproducibility of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The theme addresses how AI can streamline each stage of the process — from initial literature searching and screening to data extraction and synthesis — empowering researchers and clinicians to conduct high-quality reviews in less time.

3. Objectives of the Workshop

• To enhance participants' skills in conducting efficient literature searches, managing citations, and performing accurate data extraction.
• To provide participants with practical skills in using key AI tools for each phase of a systematic review.
• To create awareness about the benefits, limitations, and ethical considerations of using AI in the research methodology.

4. Target Audience

Undergraduate/Postgraduate students, clinicians, surgeons, anatomists, researchers, and educators from all fields of medical and health sciences.

5. Duration & Schedule

• Date: 02 April 2026
• Time: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (with breaks)
• Venue: Seminar Hall at NIMS University
