Overview:
AI is moving from theoretical promise to practical application in healthcare.
This course, Applied AI in Healthcare: Diagnosis, Decisions, and Documentation, offers a focused exploration of how AI is enhancing clinical workflows supporting diagnosis, guiding decision-making, and automating documentation.
Rather than abstract concepts, this course provides real-world tools, examples, and frameworks that healthcare professionals can use to understand and adopt AI safely and effectively in clinical environments.
