Event overview
We are thrilled to announce that bookings are now open for our ever-popular Clinical Radiology AI blended learning course combining the experience of virtual peer-to-peer learning in our interactive workshop with online self-paced e-learning material for a seamless and complementary flow of learning.
The Clinical Radiology AI Blended Learning course Modules 1 and 2 are the first in a wider series being developed by RCR Learning and the Clinical Radiology AI Faculty. If you're new to AI or have some experience this course will introduce you to AI in radiology and healthcare and the fundamental concepts. Available in late 2025, you can look forward to deepening your learning with Modules 3 and 4.
Ahead of the workshop, participants will receive access to two interactive e-learning modules. Each module offers 2-3 hours of in-depth learning. Then elevate your knowledge and network with peers at our exclusive and highly interactive workshop on 17 January 2025, led by industry leading AI experts in the field of radiology.
12 CPD points will be awarded on completion of the e-learning modules and attending the online workshop. Please note this event will not be available to view on-demand post event.
Learning objectives
You will be introduced to AI in radiology and healthcare and the fundamental concepts when creating an AI algorithm.
By the end of this course, you will:
- Gain an understanding of the fundamental principles that form the basis of AI
- Be able to describe various AI techniques and their advantages and disadvantages, as well as justify the use of these methods
- Acquire basic knowledge of how AI models are created, with a particular focus on data gathering, annotation, and the importance of data management and security
- Understand the challenges associated with open-source datasets, be aware of AI grand challenges, and understand how bias and unintended outcomes can potentially affect AI models.
Who should attend?
- Clinical radiology consultants
- Clinical radiology trainees
- Allied healthcare professionals
This course is for healthcare clinicians at any level of training or experience who are working in the UK and overseas. Modules 1 and 2 will give you a fundamental understanding of AI in radiology as well as delving into some more complex topics.
Please refer to the eligibility criteria below, if you’re still unsure which rate you’re eligible for please contact - [email protected]
