AI Literacy in Healthcare: Understanding the Skills We Need for the Future
Before healthcare professionals can fully leverage AI, we must first understand the opportunities, challenges, and competencies required to use these technologies responsibly and effectively.
This inaugural webinar will focus on assessing the current state of AI literacy in healthcare. Through a multidisciplinary discussion, we will explore what healthcare professionals need to know about AI, how AI is already being used across healthcare settings, and what skills organizations should prioritize to prepare their workforce.
The session will bring together experts from clinical care, public health, data quality, health informatics, and artificial intelligence to discuss the evolving role of AI in healthcare and identify key educational needs for the healthcare workforce.
