Generative AI Essentials for Healthcare - April 2026

Summary of course structure

Course starts with a one-hour online introductory session, followed by a half-day in person workshop and ends with a one-hour online group consultation.

Outline of course structure

This program takes a flexible, blended approach, combining in-person instruction with self-paced online learning. Participants will be introduced to the course with access to online resources, allowing them to explore the material at their own rhythm. An in-person workshop will offer hands-on experience with AI tools, focusing on real-world applications specifically for people working in healthcare. After attending, participants can join a one-hour online group consultation to get additional support, ask follow-up questions, and refine their skills. This structure ensures professionals can deepen their understanding of generative AI without disrupting their work commitments.
