To help transform the skillset of practicing clinicians, this eight (8)-week program provides a working knowledge of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and foundational skills for implementing AI into practice. At the end of the program, clinicians will complete a capstone project on an opportunity for AI within their team or organization.

Through this certificate program, clinicians will:

• Discover how different types of machine learning algorithms work including deep neural network, random forest, and logistic regression
• Recognize the value of clinical expertise for guiding data decisions and identifying potential biases
• Discuss the ethical implications of trade-off decisions and their impact on patient care
• Review frameworks and policies that guide AI projects and ethical and legal considerations
• Practice creating problem definition statements, mapping AI to clinical processes, and outlining data and decision considerations
• Evaluate machine learning models to determine suitability for clinical integration
• Justify decisions surrounding challenges related to bias and ethics, resource availability, data governance, and implementation
• Explore change management and stakeholder buy-in strategies
• Create a capstone report for an AI opportunity in your workplace to share with relevant stakeholders

To help transform the skillset of healthcare leaders, this three (3)-week program challenges leaders to exercise their decision-making skills as they pertain to AI through case studies and interactive expert talks. From the technologies themselves to the infrastructure, policies and procedures, financial plans, and workforce planning required to responsibly deliver AI, this course will prepare leaders through the fundamentals of AI models and the legal, ethical, and cyber security pillars to make adoption successful.

Through this certificate program, leaders will:

• Discuss guiding principles and measures of success for responsible AI implementation
• Interpret data from potential AI projects to make approval and priority decisions
• Evaluate the feasibility of different types of AI technology by considering budget, resource allocation, AI model efficacy, and engineering and infrastructure requirements
• Assess organizational and operational readiness for AI implementation
• Develop governance structures and processes for fair and secure AI implementation
• Consider the impact of AI on multiple stakeholders and the change management required for responsible adoption
