We will begin with a straightforward introduction to the key concepts — Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Large Language Models (LLMs) — and their limitations: biases, hallucinations, and the importance of not relying on unvalidated models for clinical decision-making. From there, we will learn how to design effective prompts, explore the most useful general-purpose and healthcare-specific AI tools, and see how to apply them in everyday practice: diagnostic support, literature search, teaching, task automation, and much more. The workshop closes with real practice: participants will create their own prompts and experiment with simple automation tools. Because the best way to stop being afraid of AI is to actually use it.
