AI for Medical Professionals – June 2025

Introduction and Background:

The integration of Machine Learning based Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare is transforming the way medical professionals diagnose, treat, and manage patients. However, many clinicians lack the necessary skills and understanding to effectively leverage these technologies. This course is designed to bridge this gap by equipping clinical professionals with the knowledge and tools to understand, evaluate, and apply AI in clinical settings, ultimately enhancing patient care and operational efficiency.

Objectives:

  • Providing a foundationalunderstanding of AI and itsrelevance to healthcare.
  • Familiarizing participants with the applications of AI techniques in clinical practice.
  • Fostering awareness of ethical and governance issues related to AI in medicine.

Target Group

  • Postgraduate medical students (MD/MS/MDS/Equivalent).
  • Faculty and medical professionals (MD/ MS/ MCH/ DM/ MDS/MBBS/ BDS).

Eligibility:

  • Basic knowledge ofhealthcare processes andclinical practice.
  • Curiosity for understanding the impact of modern technology in healthcare.

Expected outcomes

  • Understanding of AI concepts and theirapplications in healthcare.
  • Ability to evaluate AI tools in clinical settings.
  • Hands-on experience with AI tools and basicmodel development.
  • Improved ability to critically assess AI research and technologies.
  • Enhanced ability to work collaboratively on AI projects in healthcare.

Module 3: Clinical Applications

  • Structure of Case Studies: Clinical presentation and role of AI/ML; Data preparation and feature processing; Model building and evaluation [ relevant ML and DL algorithms will be introduced]; Results, inference, and wrap-up.
  • Domains (any 4 topics) : Screening, Diagnosis, Prognosis, Treatment, Patient Management, Hospital Resource Management
  • Specific Case Studies: Cases from the above domains will be discussed in relation to various data types (bio signals, images, tabular, molecular, and textual) and different algorithms (tree-based methods, neural networks, deep neural networks) relevant for specific problems.
  • Signal-based – ECG (cardiovascular diseases), EEG (sleep staging)

Module 4: Ethics and Governance of AI

  • Data protection, privacy, anonymity, biases – Regulations and governance frameworks for AI as a medical device

Hands-on AI Projects (optional)
Building a basic machine learning model Simple AI projects relevant to healthcare.

Course Delivery and Certification

Lectures: Pre-recorded lectures (~1 hour content delivered as 4 videos each of 15 minutes duration) released every week for participants to enable flexible learning at their convenience.

Online Contact Sessions : Weekly online contact session (1 hour duration) comprising summary of the lecture material, tutorials on the material covered in the video lectures, Q&A, and live demonstration of case studies.

Demo of AI applications: Demo of simple AI applications relevant to healthcare are taken up during the contact sessions.

Expected Study-time: 3 hours per week.

Assessment: The course videos would also have short quizzes / assignments to complete before the contact session. Post-course assessment to measure learning outcomes.

Certification: Certificate of course completion will be issued jointly by IIIT-H, IHub-Data, & NAMS.
