The University of Salamanca (USAL) and the AIIS consortium continue presenting new results of the AIIS Project: Artificial Intelligence, Innovation & Society. The project aims to improve medical students’ digital and soft skills with an innovative online program. In this phase, the consortium developed the AIIS Training Pills (Educational Material).

AIIS Training Pills

Educational Artificial Intelligence & Soft Skills Lessons for Medical Students
The consortium developed 12 lessons for Medical students to train them in Artificial Intelligence and help them develop their soft skills.
