Benjamin Collins is a hospitalist and postdoctoral research fellow in ethics, legal, and social issues of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare at Vanderbilt University Medical Center with the Department of Biomedical Informatics and the Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society.
He completed medical school at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine in Richmond, VA and internal medicine residency at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. During residency, he also earned an MA degree in Urban Bioethics from Temple with a thesis on, “A Theory of Sociotechnical Justice in Healthcare.” He then completed a clinical informatics fellowship at Oregon Health & Science University along with an MS degree in biomedical informatics, finishing a capstone project by developing an online training module for clinicians on algorithmic bias in healthcare for which he received the 2022 American Medical Informatics Association Academic Forum Best Paper Award.
He is interested in the use of AI for clinical decision support, working to ensure that AI does not contribute to health disparities through qualitative research, community engagement, and improving clinician education and training on the use of AI. He is also invested in studying how the use of AI influences clinical reasoning and in medical education more broadly.
