Asia Economy Education Center Accelerates Training of Medical and Healthcare AI Experts
Medical Professionals from Seoul National University Hospital and National Cancer Center Participate
Enhancing Practical Skills through Medical Data Utilization and Multi-Stage Project-Based Learning
The Asia Economy Education Center is recruiting trainees for its "Medical and Healthcare Big Data Analysis-Based Medical Research and AI Healthcare Service Model Development Program," aimed at nurturing artificial intelligence (AI) experts who will lead the future of the medical and healthcare industries.
This program focuses on cultivating practical medical science talent capable of developing innovative services by integrating data analysis and AI technologies into the medical and healthcare sectors. Participants will learn through a systematic curriculum, ranging from programming fundamentals such as Python, R, and SQL, to advanced technologies including large language models (LLM), LangChain, and AI modeling (ML/DL/NLP).
Hands-on Projects with Medical Staff from Seoul National University Hospital and National Cancer Center
The greatest strength of this program lies in its hands-on projects. Current professionals-including medical staff from Seoul National University Hospital and the National Cancer Center, as well as chief technology officers (CTOs) from digital therapeutics companies-participate as project mentors, directly imparting the skills and know-how required in real industry settings.
To rapidly enhance learning efficiency, trainees will complete more than five projects structured in three stages of increasing difficulty (Basic, Semi, Final). They can also pursue independent projects tailored to their own domain knowledge and areas of interest.
Graduates of previous cohorts have produced innovative results, such as a "Multimodal Digital Biomarker-Based Early Differential AI Solution for Parkinson's Disease," "Food Allergy Protein Epitope Prediction," "Deep Learning Algorithm for Arrhythmia Prediction," and "AlphaFold-Based Detailed Diagnostic Model for Thyroid Diseases."
Participants are also provided with extensive support benefits, including internship opportunities, support for certification exam fees and competition participation, merit-based scholarships, team activity funds, and access to paid software. After completing the program, trainees receive personalized career consulting, as well as support for internships and job recommendations with partner companies, enabling meaningful career development.
Free Training, Internship Opportunities, Merit Scholarships... Employment Support Services Included
An official from the Asia Economy Education Center stated, "AI and big data technologies, which are at the core of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, are having an increasing impact on the healthcare industry," adding, "This training program is designed to foster medical science talent equipped with innovative capabilities by integrating medical and AI technologies in line with these trends."
Among the second cohort of trainees who participated in August, some won the Grand Prize (President's Award) at the KHD (Konyang Health Datathon) held at Konyang University Hospital. Others have also demonstrated their skills by winning awards in competitions such as the Healthcare Big Data Startup Contest (Honorable Mention) and the Ministry of Employment and Labor's K-Digital Training Hackathon (President's Award). This program is offered entirely free of charge, and detailed information regarding applications, curriculum, and more can be found on the Asia Economy Education Center website.
