Your Learning Journey

This course teaches you how to effectively use AI for clinical documentation. Through hands-on exercises with real patient scenarios (de-identified), you’ll practice writing prompts and refine your skills using self-evaluation and example solutions.

What Makes This Course Unique

Hands-On Practice: Write real prompts, see real outputs, get real feedback
Self-Paced Learning: Compare your work with expert examples
Clinical Focus: All exercises use realistic medical scenarios
Local: Everything runs in your browser
Iterative Learning: Practice until you master each concept
Modular Design: Progress at your own pace

How the Course Works

1. Learn the Concept

Each module starts with instructional content explaining key principles of prompt engineering for clinical use.

2. See the Example

You’ll be given a realistic clinical scenario (de-identified patient transcript).

3. Write Your Prompt

Practice writing prompts in an interactive editor with helpful hints.

4. Run & Review

See the AI-generated output from your prompt in real-time.

5. Get Feedback

Our LLM evaluation system analyzes your work and provides:

Strengths of your approach
Specific improvements to make
Scores based on clinical documentation best practices
Actionable examples

6. Iterate & Master

Refine your prompts based on feedback and practice until you achieve mastery.
