AI for Everyone in Healthcare: Getting Started with AI in Clinical Practice
LAU Medical Center–Rizk Hospital, 5th floor, Auditorium D

Artificial intelligence is already transforming healthcare. Are you ready to be part of it?
Join us for a free, interactive event designed for clinicians, educators, and healthcare professionals with little or no background in AI. Discover how AI is transforming care, education, and research—and how you can be part of the change. The event also serves as a gateway to the upcoming LAU Certificate in AI & Healthcare.
We are honored to welcome Dr. Jean Nehme-surgeon, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Touch Surgery-as our keynote speaker. His talk will be joined by a lineup of distinguished LAU clinicians and scientists.
We look forward to welcoming you all.
