Foundations of AI in Public Health Education: Concepts, Context, and Readiness
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to shape teaching, learning, and academic operations, public health educators and administrators need a shared foundation to engage productively with these tools. The Foundations of AI in Public Health Education online training is designed to provide an overview of the current AI landscape, including commonly used tools and applications relevant to teaching, advising, assessment, and academic administration.
Participants will explore foundational pedagogical and ethical considerations, such as academic integrity, equity, accessibility, and responsible and ethical use, with a focus on implications for schools and programs of public health. Additionally, the presenter, Dr. C. Edward Watson, Vice President of Digital Innovation (AAC&U), will highlight emerging trends and practical scenarios that illustrate how AI is already being applied across higher education, public health, and the workforce.
By the end of the training, participants will have a clearer understanding of what AI can and cannot do, how it intersects with educational practice, and how to critically assess opportunities and risks.
The online training is open to all public health faculty, academic administrators and staff, students, and partners who are interested in building a baseline understanding of AI in academic public health.
