The AI in Healthcare: Theory to Practice Program in association with IISc offers a comprehensive curriculum tailored to healthcare professionals, emphasizing practical application of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Over half of the coursework is dedicated to hands-on experience, allowing students to solve real-world medical challenges using AI along with live weekend sessions.
