OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This work aims to explore how citizen science serves as a transformative frame work to bridge scientific knowledge, focusing on its potential to enhance transdisciplinary learning in artificial intelligence (AI) biomedical and clinical sciences by facilitating near-peer mentoring. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Our group of eight friends comprise a multicultural and multidisciplinary cohort including students from the USA, Philippines, Indonesia, and Guatemala pursuing PhD degrees in electrical and computer engineering, epidemiology, physics, and MD, PharmD, and DMD degrees. We engage in shared online courses, collaborative projects, and abstract submissions. Employing our collective knowledge, we design interactive learning experiences, support each other’s initiatives, and collaboratively develop lectures and presentations. We in tend to expand collaborations in biomedical AI education while fostering principles of experiential and collaborativelearning, constructivism, and authentic inquiry. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our recent successes include submittedconference abstracts on data science and AI education in pharmacy and the facilitation of a guest lecture in health informatics. Additionally, we are currently collaborating on seven biomedical machine learning projects in radio frequency engineering, aiming for conference submissions. Moving forward, our goal is to expand our group, support the formation of similar communities, and promote data science and AI literacy in biomedical and clinical contexts. We aspire to extend this knowledge to families, classmates, and eventually patients, facilitating a broader understanding of the role of AI in healthcare. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: We believe diverse expertise and pedagogical theories can help demonstrate the potential of citizen science to democratize scientific experience. By nurturing collaborative networks our efforts aim to bridge gaps between disciplines and enhance the broader public’s understanding of AI in healthcare.
