AI & Healthcare

Learn to interpret medical research, understand AI in clinical practice, and conduct original health data analysis—the critical thinking skills every future physician needs.

Future doctors don't need to code, but they do need to evaluate evidence. In this beginner-friendly program, students analyze real health data, explore how AI is already detecting disease and predicting patient outcomes, and practice drawing conclusions the way researchers do using Tableau.

Students also explore the ethical challenges facing modern medicine—health disparities, algorithmic bias, and patient privacy.

By the end, students complete an original health research project for their college application.
