Why this course

Nearly half of clinicians are already using AI for work-related purposes, but many lack the frameworks to use it safely. This course focuses on hybrid human-AI decision-making, teaching you to master effective prompting strategies and critically evaluate AI outputs for bias and hallucinations. Through realistic scenarios in clinical planning, resource allocation, and risk assessment, you'll learn to design safer, more equitable workflows that combine AI's analytical power with human insight and accountability. Whether you're a healthcare student, clinician, manager, or policy professional, you'll explore the principles and limitations of AI tools across different contexts, and examine emerging issues including data privacy, AI washing, and representation gaps. By course completion, you'll have practical frameworks for evaluating AI systems critically and the confidence to advocate for responsible, human-centred AI adoption in healthcare.
