Original course title: Practical AI Skills for TCM Practitioners and Acupuncturists in Clinical Settings

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming part of professional practice.

This course introduces practical AI skills that can be applied in clinical, health and wellness-related professional settings. Participants will learn how to use AI safely, responsibly and effectively to support clinical documentation, case organisation, patient or client education, professional learning, communication and workflow improvement.
