I was once a student at Fremont Middle School a few years ago.

Wink, wink.

Let me tell you, today's Fremont Professional Development and Academy of Medical Sciences Middle School is a lot different than the Fremont I remember.

Fremont recently became a magnet school, and students and staff moved into this state-of-the-art building last school year.

The focus here is on preparing students for careers in the medical field.

And as we found out, learning how to understand new technology, like AI, plays a big part.

It is 8th period for these 8th graders at Fremont Professional Development Middle School and Academy of Medical Sciences.

-We're going to continue to read all those articles.

-The class?

Advanced Bio Medicine with a Focus on AI Technology.

AI, as in... -AI is artificial intelligence.

It's basically making computers perform intelligent, intelligent tasks or human tasks.

(Jayden Marave) We're learning about AI and how it works in the medical field.

-This course is the first of its kind in the Clark County School District.

(Itza Espino-Gomez) So our motto is "Prepared for All Things," in omnia paratus.

So we wanted to make sure our students are prepared for their future.

And one of the things that is growing now is AI.

-The class covers everything from how AI algorithms function-- (Daniel Cook) Yeah, like, I find it very intriguing how computers can even do such complex things.

Like, how does it all work?

- --to how AI is working in medicine right now.

(Lysander Barrientos) But right now, we're understanding how it's being used in like surgeries and spotting-- like in spotting collapsed lungs and all that.

-But the future of AI is also a big focus.

(Dr. Abigail Johnson) It's everywhere around us, we just don't realize.

And it's going to become more prevalent and, I really think, determine a lot of about in our society and our workforce in the coming years.

-How it can help?

-A few examples of that could be, like, diagnosis of certain conditions; spotting out, like, what kind of treatments could be used to help somebody.

-And issues to watch for.

-Because right now we know AI is not perfect, and so if they're inspired to also help change how AI is working, they can also do that in their respective fields if they decide not to go into medicine.

-The goal is to help students navigate and better understand a quickly developing technology.

-The future of AI?

It'll definitely help in a lot more careers.

A lot more people will start using it.

-I think AI would help me into like, like writing notes, prescriptions, if, like, they need any.

-As they prepare for careers in the medical field.

-I just want our kids to be on the forefront, leading that charge, because they're amazing, they're brilliant, and I trust them with our future.

-What bright students.

Bravo!
