There are 4 modules in this course

In this module, you will explore advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques used to extract meaningful insights from clinical text. The module begins by examining how NLP transforms unstructured medical notes into structured data that supports clinical decision-making. You will learn how transformer-based models such as BERT, BioBERT, and ClinicalBERT enable key tasks like entity recognition and information extraction. Through guided labs, you will build end-to-end NLP pipelines that preprocess and structure clinical information for real-world applications. You will also explore how NLP powers automated medical coding, clinical documentation, and decision support systems in healthcare workflows. The module concludes with a look at key implementation challenges, including data privacy, model integration, and workflow alignment, preparing you to design NLP solutions that enhance accuracy and efficiency in healthcare.

In this module, you will explore the use of generative AI in healthcare to enhance clinical reporting, decision support, and patient engagement. The module begins by introducing large language models (LLMs) and advanced prompting techniques, demonstrating how these models can be adapted and fine-tuned for medical applications. You will learn how generative AI produces structured radiology and pathology reports, supports clinical decision-making, and generates personalized treatment recommendations. Through hands-on labs, you will build systems that automate medical report generation (Lab 5) and develop conversational AI chatbots for patient education and triage (Lab 6). The module also covers best practices for evaluating the accuracy, clinical utility, and ethical considerations of AI-generated content, equipping you to implement generative AI solutions that improve efficiency, safety, and patient-centered care in healthcare settings.
