Overview
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising the entire medical field, changing the way the data is used to make decisions and analysing big data. To stay competitive, universities and organizations need qualified clinical researchers with knowledge and understanding of AI and who use cutting-edge methods like machine learning algorithms and deep learning neural networks. This 4-week Professional Certificate course is designed to equip you with the knowledge you need to apply AI in medicine and cancer research.
Through the final project report, you’ll gain the essential knowledge and skills required to implement AI in medicine and clinical research. This course aims to provide knowledge of AI applications in medicine and healthcare. This PCert is also a part of our 16-week Specialization + internship programme.
