The way doctors diagnose, treat, and manage patients is changing as a result of the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based on machine learning in the healthcare industry. But a lot of doctors don’t have the knowledge and abilities needed to use these tools well.
By giving healthcare practitioners the skills and information they need to comprehend, assess, and use AI in clinical settings, IIIT Hyderabad has launched a certificate course named AI in Healthcare, which aims to close this knowledge gap and improve patient care as well as operational effectiveness.
The next batch of applications will start in January 2025.
