Curious how AI can help reclaim time for patient care? This foundational course covers the essentials of working with AI as a healthcare professional. You’ll discover how it works, which non-clinical tasks it can safely support, and how to protect patient data. You’ll learn how to give it clear instructions, called prompts, and ways to use it responsibly across the approved tools your institution utilizes today, or adopts tomorrow. By the end of this course, you will: • Understand the foundational mechanics of generative AI. • Write clear, effective prompts for your non-clinical daily work. • Evaluate outputs for hallucinations and bias, and maintain a human-in-the-loop approach. • Apply best practices for communicating openly about AI use.
