AI at Work in Healthcare: What It Means for Your Role

1. Program overview

Almost every AI course in healthcare is written for analysts and executives. This one is written for the nurse, pharmacist, radiographer or administrator who has just been told a new tool is arriving on their unit. It explains in plain language what these systems do, where their outputs come from, why they are confidently wrong sometimes, what training data and bias mean in practice, and what your professional responsibility is when you use one. No mathematics, no coding, no hype — just the working knowledge required to use these tools without being misled by them.
