Virtual Tech Speaker Series: AI Education and Upskilling for Healthcare Professionals

Join us for the third session in a four-part Virtual Tech Speaker Series hosted by the Arizona Technology Council’s AI Committee – AI Education and Upskilling for Healthcare Professionals.

As AI tools become embedded across clinical, operational, and administrative workflows, every role will interact with intelligent technologies in some way. Success depends on developing literacy, trust, and readiness at all levels, not just within IT.

• Innovation leaders seeking actionable AI strategies
• Business Leaders, Operations Managers, HR Managers
• Strategy and digital transformation teams
• Healthcare executives looking to leverage AI responsibly

• Learn about accessible, high-value training resources and certifications.
• Gain strategies to reduce fear and build organizational trust around AI adoption.
• Identify staffing and hiring approaches that ensure AI competency across departments.

Whether you’re developing an enterprise-wide AI strategy or supporting one, this session will help you ensure your people are prepared to make it work.
