Bronco Voices: Using AI, FSU Alumna Yvonne Mosley Leads the Way in the Future of Health Care

To say Yvonne Mosley, DBA, a 2021 graduate of Fayetteville State University, is an “AI trailblazer” would be a certifiable understatement. The truth is, Mosley never seems to tire of writing and educating on artificial intelligence and how it is changing our world, specifically within the challenging realm of health care.

Admittedly obsessed with analyzing algorithms, she is a vault of knowledge and cutting-edge data. As a changemaker trademarked as the “Auntie of AI,” she is expanding her digital footprint and online following alongside her reputation in high tech and medicine.

Mosley says much of who she is today was shaped by her experience at FSU, where she earned her MBA in healthcare management online during the COVID-19 pandemic. After graduating with honors in 2021, she went on to complete a doctorate in business administration at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2025.

As medical organizations grapple with how to implement new technology responsibly, Mosley applies the analytical foundation she strengthened at FSU to questions surrounding AI and patient safety.

That work recently earned Mosley a place on Black Impact Magazine’s “26 of 2026 Women of Impact” list, which recognized her as an AI and health care strategist.

“It was an amazing experience at FSU, and the group projects made us all connect,” recalls Mosley, who adds that a huge bonus was graduating with “absolutely no debt,” thanks to the $500 per semester in-state tuition NC Promise program.

Her Story

Mosley was influenced to pursue a health care career because of a traumatic family event that never left her. In 1997, her older sister Sharon, a new mother, died at age 27 due to a sudden blood clot in her leg, an outcome Mosley believes was entirely preventable.

A U.S. Army veteran who served in the Military Police Corps, she earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from Florida State University in 1999. 

Her FSU managerial accounting professor, Robert S. McGee, Ph.D., has continued to follow Mosley’s career, which he describes as “thriving.”

“I remember her as a goal-oriented self-starter,” he says.

Mosley is grateful for how McGee challenged her to grow and excel on her MBA journey.

“His emphasis on research and analytical thinking broadened my perspective on how accounting supports quality improvement and patient safety initiatives in healthcare,” she explains. “He later wrote my recommendation letter for admission to the DBA program at UNC Charlotte, for which I remain deeply grateful.”

That connection between business analysis and health care improvement would become increasingly relevant as Mosley moved deeper into data analytics and, eventually, AI.

She also credits others in the Broadwell College of Business and Economics, including Associate Professor of Healthcare Bola Ekezue, Ph.D., former Managerial Economics Professor Nikolai G. Wenzel, Ph.D., and MBA Operations Manager Berrak Walters. 

Mission A.I.

After more than a decade working in quality and safety, performance improvement and data analytics at a large hospital system, Mosley joined the North Carolina Healthcare Association in 2021 as a performance improvement specialist. She assisted 23 hospitals in improving the quality and safety of their services until December 2024 and continues to work on contract for clients today.

Artificial intelligence has become a key component of her work. She cautions that the technology's true risk lies in using it without proper understanding.

Mosley is also the creator of WorkerBees.us, an AI-powered platform that provides professionals with tools and frameworks to pursue government contracting.

She is an adjunct professor for the MBA program at Barton College in Wilson, where she teaches core concepts in innovation, change and organizational leadership while integrating technology and AI governance.

For Mosley, the path from FSU’s online MBA program to doctoral study and her work in AI and health care reflects the message she now shares with others about navigating technological change. 

“The future belongs to people who are willing to learn,” she said.

Debunking AI Myths: 3 Common Misconceptions About Artificial Intelligence

Mosley’s work also involves helping people better understand what AI can and cannot do. As technology becomes more common in health care and the workplace, she says separating misconceptions from reality is an important part of learning how to use it responsibly.

Myth #1: AI is going to replace everyone. 

Truth: AI is more likely to transform jobs than eliminate them. Those who learn to work alongside AI will have a clear advantage over those who ignore it.

Myth #2: AI knows everything. 

Truth: AI can be an incredible assistant, but it is not an infallible expert. It can misunderstand questions, rely on outdated information, or confidently generate incorrect answers. Human judgment remains essential, especially in health care, education, business, government, and other high-stakes decisions.

Myth #3: If you are not in technology, AI does not matter to you. 

Truth: AI is already shaping health care, education, banking, transportation, agriculture, manufacturing, and government services. AI is becoming part of daily life. Understanding how to use it responsibly is quickly becoming a basic life skill.
