NBEMS Opens Free Six-Month Online AI Program for Doctors

The no-fee, six-month program trains postgraduate clinicians to evaluate AI tools for safe use.

Overview

  • Applications are live on the NBEMS website, with session schedules and access hosted at natboard.edu.in.
  • The course spans roughly 20 live interactive modules emphasizing clinical applicability, ethics, patient safety, and accountability rather than coding.
  • Eligibility covers current NBEMS trainees, alumni from 2020 onward, and faculty in NBEMS-accredited departments, with a digital certificate awarded after 75% attendance and completion of an online assessment.
  • Sessions feature faculty from institutions such as Mayo Clinic, Harvard University, the University of Oxford, IISc Bengaluru, and IIM Lucknow alongside Indian partners.
  • NBEMS outlines a phased plan that moves from training postgraduate faculty and students to MBBS integration and a long-term goal of locally hosted LLMs, and it plans to apply for a Guinness World Record for a single-session training.
