Why ODU for AI in healthcare?

Learn methods to improve healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes using machine learning and explainable artificial intelligence (AI). The use of artificial intelligence in healthcare is increasing, with specific applications for clinical AI and data management, such as AI for therapy notes or AI in medical education.

In this certificate, you will gain a foundation in AI and healthcare informatics. Your courses will cover:

  • Health information system concepts, management, and the integration of technology in healthcare organizations
  • Skills to identify the characteristics of various AI types (e.g., natural language processing and computer vision) that are applied to different application areas
  • How to explain and interpret advanced machine learning and AI algorithms

You will also complete a practicum course to apply your knowledge to a specific area and produce a paper or e-portfolio. This may take different forms, such as an internship, a project based on what you do at work, or a paper on an area of interest.

When you complete this certificate, you will be able to make informed recommendations regarding the use of AI in healthcare data to improve the delivery and evaluation of patient care.

This certificate can be completed one or two years (two to four semesters), depending on whether you take one or two courses each semester.
