AIM4Med 101: AI for Clinicians
A free, practical course for physicians, fellows, residents, and medical students on using Claude, and AI language models generally, safely and effectively in real medical work. Six modules and 29 lessons, with knowledge checks, copy-and-run practice prompts, and a certificate of completion.
AIM4Med 101 is Step 2 of the AIM4Med program. It builds on Step 1, the 10 Clinical AI Competencies, the free foundation course that works with any AI tool and takes about 60 minutes. Step 2 applies those competencies in one tool, in depth.
What the course covers
- Module 1: Meet Claude. What is Claude?; Your first clinical conversation; Getting better results; Claude across your day: web, desktop, mobile, and beyond; Free vs. paid: which plan you actually need; Setting up Claude: the settings that matter.
- Module 2: Trust, safety, and verification. Hallucination and the verification mindset; PHI, HIPAA, and what never to paste; The Clinical Evidence Prompt (CEP); Bias, equity, and the model's limits.
- Module 3: Organizing your clinical work. Projects: building a clinical knowledge base; Artifacts: handouts, drafts, and decision aids; Skills: reusable clinical workflows; Memory: what Claude remembers about you; File creation: real documents, spreadsheets, and slides.
- Module 4: Expanding Claude's reach. Connecting your tools; Reading papers, guidelines, and PDFs; Research for deep dives; Claude in your browser and Office apps; Cowork: delegating whole tasks.
- Module 5: Claude in clinical action. Documentation and administrative load; Patient education that patients can actually read; Counseling drafts and shared decision-making; Research writing and peer review; Teaching and assessment.
- Module 6: Putting it all together. A full clinical workflow, end to end; Professional responsibility and preventive ethics; If your hospital uses ChatGPT instead; What's next?
The idea behind it
The model drafts. The clinician verifies and owns the result. Every citation, dose, statistic, and guideline claim is confirmed against a primary source before it reaches a patient or a record.
