AI Boot Camp (Beginner Track)

beginner track – General Registration

For the beginner track, micro-learning tutorials built on the UF AI Boot Camp curricula will be modified and taught by CHoRUS faculty and UF College of Medicine AI faculty. Trainees will be guided through several hands-on example applications of AI in Clinical Care via interactive Python programming notebooks that showcase AI/ML methods applied to real-world clinical datasets. Instructional material will combine didactic with experiential learning. The beginner track assumes no prior programming experience and is aimed primarily at AI/ML novices.

Workshop material will consist of brief case studies that articulate and evaluate AI/ML practices and contribute to the development of AI in Clinical Care domain knowledge. For this track, we will accept 60 total trainees.

Before the workshop (self-paced prerequisite instruction will be sent to registrants in March):

Foundations of AI-Based Medicine
AI Based Medicine Technical Expertise CME
