Course overview

AI is rapidly becoming part of modern healthcare, but every doctor must first understand how to use it safely, ethically, and responsibly before applying it in clinical practice.

AI Foundations, Ethics & Governance for Doctors is a practical, doctor-first course designed to help Indian doctors build the right mindset for using AI in their daily work. This course explains AI in simple language and helps you understand how it has evolved, the different types of AI, and why it matters for doctors and clinics in 2026.

More importantly, this course focuses on the real-world concerns that matter most in medical practice — where AI can be useful, where it should not be trusted blindly, how hallucinations and errors can create clinical risk, and why clinical judgment must always remain in the doctor’s hands.

The course also covers essential topics such as medical ethics, Indian DPDP Act compliance, patient data protection, medico-legal safeguards, and how to explain AI usage to patients with trust and transparency.

This is not a technical or coding-based course. It is a clear and practical foundation program for doctors who want to start their AI journey in the right way — with confidence, safety, and responsibility.

It is ideal for MBBS, BAMS, BHMS, BUMS doctors, consultants, clinic owners, hospital professionals, and medical students who want to understand AI before using it in practice.
