Meet the Healthcare AI Program Manager role as it actually exists in provider organizations, and see how the same title looks different in a 500-bed hospital versus a five-provider clinic versus a multi-site health system. You'll be able to describe entry-level PM responsibilities in provider settings with confidence.

Learn why the same job posting can mean very different work depending on where you land, and pick up a simple three-factor rubric for reading a healthcare AI initiative to figure out what an entry-level PM would support, document, or escalate.

Turn messy executive inputs, emails, meeting notes, and verbal directives into a structured draft strategy brief and rollout outline that a senior lead can pick up and act on. Use the strategy brief template, populate it with traceable inputs, and produce a high-level rollout outline that progresses from executive approval through pilot to organizational adoption.

This module builds the informatics literacy that turns opaque project artifacts into readable ones. It explains three foundational areas—clinical data types, workflow context, and system-to-process relationships—and applies them as a lens for interpreting healthcare AI project artifacts.

What's included

2 videos2 readings1 assignment

This module applies informatics terminology to interpret real project artifacts. It works through a mixed artifact packet—data dictionary, workflow notes, and system diagram—to produce a clean interpretation memo that a senior lead can use in stakeholder conversations.

What's included

Bring together everything from LC 1 to produce an entry-level portfolio artifact, a healthcare AI initiative briefing that a Senior AI Program Manager could pick up and refine for an executive presentation. You'll organize discovery inputs into a structured strategy brief, add an informatics interpretation of the initiative's data landscape, and outline a realistic rollout, all scoped to what an entry-level Healthcare AI Coordinator would perform.
