“Effective use of AI in healthcare requires knowing more than just the algorithms and how they work,” Nigam Shah, PhD, the program’s faculty director, said in a Aug. 10 news release. “Stanford’s AI in Healthcare program will equip participants to design solutions that help patients and transform our healthcare system. The program will provide a multifaceted perspective on what it takes to bring AI to the clinic safely, cost-effectively, and ethically.”

The program will explore the current state, trends, challenges, applications and ethics of AI in healthcare. Enrollees will also learn how AI affects patient care and research, how AI relates to science and AI’s potential for healthcare innovation.
