Course Code: MPD0042
Dates: Monday 18 Nov - Friday 20 Dec, 2024 (10am-4pm)
Location: Woodside 301
In this course, you will learn about medical AI, a topic that has taken the world by storm and is rapidly shaping how we practice medicine.
The course will cover requisite foundations (math, probability, machine learning), before diving into neural networks, transformers/attention, foundation models, and state-of-the-art material, such as multimodal fusion, retrieval-augmented generation, agents and text-to-action.
The bootcamp will culminate in your own project with a small team in the last 2 weeks - either to solve an unmet clinical need or to answer an important research question.
This is our lab’s flagship bootcamp. Graduates will be well placed for roles in medical AI research, startups, established companies, ethics and policy.
You will need to learn/know how to code in Python, otherwise this course will probably be very challenging (and this difficulty will compound as the weeks move on).
