AI for Health

What does a global health practitioner actually need to know about AI?

§Problem
Most AI training for clinicians is either a marketing deck or a machine-learning course. Neither helps a practitioner decide whether a tool is safe to use in their setting next Monday.
§Inquiry
What is the smallest curriculum that gives a global health practitioner the judgement to commission, evaluate, and refuse AI systems in their own context?
§Mediums
Curriculum design, case-based teaching, and a set of decision tools the practitioners take back into their institutions.
Plate 01Short course — teaching materials and case studies
§Artefact
A week-long short course delivered with Oxford, anchored by a decision framework practitioners use to triage AI tools against the realities of their service.
§What changed
Cohorts from low- and middle-income country health systems left with concrete procurement and governance decisions in motion at their home institutions.
