AI-Driven Health Care Transformation

Health Care Transformation from Harvard Medical School Executive Education is an 18-week online program designed to build strategic fluency in AI and digital transformation within health care. The learning journey combines two expert-led Harvard Medical School Executive Education programs — AI in Health Care and Leading Digital Transformation in Health Care — to equip health care leaders, innovators, and decision-makers to design, govern, and scale technology-enabled transformation across complex clinical and organizational environments.

As digital and AI technologies rapidly reshape care delivery, operations, and patient engagement, organizations face mounting pressure to move beyond pilots toward responsible, enterprise-wide implementation. Through expert-led instruction, applied frameworks, real-world case studies, and a capstone project, this program will help you align key technologies and AI initiatives with strategy, manage data and governance challenges, address ethical and regulatory considerations, and lead change at scale in the health care system.

The AI-Driven Health Care Transformation program is tailored for professionals at the intersection of digital innovation, leadership, and strategy within the health care industry. The program is ideal for:
