The AI and Public Health program is a non-degree course for students who want to learn about artificial intelligence and its applications in public health. It's taught in English and lasts several weeks. The main advantage of this program is that it helps students understand how AI can be used to solve real-world problems.

The curriculum includes three modules that introduce students to the basics of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Students will learn about a framework for problem-solving and work on a case study featuring three Jupyter notebook labs. They will create an air quality monitoring application for the city of Bogotá, Colombia, which helps develop skills in data analysis and programming.

After completing this program, students can pursue careers such as Data Analyst, Public Health Specialist, AI Researcher, or Environmental Consultant. They can work in industries like healthcare, government, or non-profit organizations, and employers may include companies like the World Health Organization or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
