AI in Medicine Focus Area Curriculum Requirements
Increasingly, the decisions physicians make about how best to treat their patients will be informed by the results of computational analyses of patient data. This increasing reliance on methods of artificial intelligence to guide patient care will not only transform medicine, but will also transform the ways in which physicians are trained. Future physicians will need to understand core principles of data science and be able to apply them to critically evaluate the emerging literature on AI in medicine and to do research in this emerging field.
Over the course of two semesters, the AI in Medicine focus area provides medical students, residents, and clinical fellows with the advanced training needed to think critically about topics in data science, and to pursue careers in research or development. Training in this focus area can be individually tailored to meet the needs of medical trainees from diverse educational backgrounds. Basic course requirements in this focus area allow for maximum flexibility in curriculum design.
Limited scholarship funds may be available by application to AI in Medicine students who are currently affiliated with the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions.
