Touro Nevada Faculty Showcases the Future of Medical Education on the Global Stage
Touro University Nevada College of Osteopathic Medicine had four faculty members present their research at AMEE, The International Association for Health Professions Education Conference.
It is one of the world’s leading conferences in medical and health professions education, bringing together educators, researchers, and leaders from across the globe. The 2026 conference in Vienna, Austria, was held in conjunction with the Integrated Ottawa Event, a premier international forum focused on assessment in health professions education.
Terrence Miller, MS, PhD, Jutta Ward, PhD, Tisheena Lowe, MEd, and Karla Carmona gave four live presentations on work spanning AI-enabled assessment and analytics, proactive learner support, targeted remediation, and interprofessional education.
Their presentations:
- “Thinking by Design: AI-Enabled Assessment for Targeted Remediation”, platform presentation (Lowe, T., Ward, J., & Miller, T.) —Demonstrated an AI-supported approach to individualized remediation that moves beyond multiple-choice performance to reveal student thinking, identify specific gaps in understanding, and provide targeted opportunities for deeper learning.
- “It’s About Time: Exam Timing Analytics as Early Signals for Proactive Academic Support”, platform presentation (Carmona, K., Lowe, T., & Miller, T.) — Explored how patterns in existing timing data can serve as early signals of academic difficulty, creating opportunities for proactive learner support before traditional performance measures identify a concern.
- “Scaling IPE Core Competencies: Impact of a Large-Scale Live Synchronized Event on Early Health Profession Students”, ePoster, (Ward, J.)
- “Seeing Struggle Sooner: AI-Driven Behavioral Analytics for Precision Learner Support” (Miller, T., Carmona, K., & Lowe, T.) — Presented in partnership with TrueLearn, this work explored how AI-driven analysis of learner behaviors and performance patterns can identify students who may need support earlier and enable more targeted intervention.
“Presenting at AMEE is an incredible opportunity to showcase on an international stage the innovative work happening at Touro University Nevada to advance medical education and support our students,” shared Dean Stacey Pierce-Talsma. “I’m fortunate to work alongside a team of educators who are leading through innovation, from AI-driven student assessment and learning supports to faculty coaching. Their work has a real impact on how our students learn and succeed, and sharing these innovations with colleagues around the world helps move medical education forward.”
