In a dynamic healthcare landscape, healthcare professionals (HCPs) must be proficient in artificial intelligence (AI). The Clinician Champions Program was created to address these AI education gaps. Over six weeks, three cohorts participated in this interprofessional program, featuring weekly assignments and a capstone project. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach to assess the program’s effectiveness in enhancing knowledge, confidence, and skills in AI integration. With a 78% completion rate among 158 clinicians, the program utilized engaging methods, including case studies, capstone projects, and reflective learning to meet diverse learning needs. It also emphasized ethical considerations (e.g., IDEA framework) and the importance of extending educational opportunities to various healthcare professionals. The findings highlight the necessity of a diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning environment to bridge AI education gaps in healthcare. The program’s success supports the idea that enhancing AI knowledge and fostering confidence can lead to meaningful AI discussions in healthcare practice. This research offers insights for educators and institutions aiming to address the evolving healthcare needs through innovative interprofessional educational approaches.
