SUMMARY:Join MEDAIGENCY's AI for Health Emergencies Capacity Building Training
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence can support preparedness\, communication\, resource management and decision-making during health emergencies. However\, its effective use requires critical judgement\, ethical awareness and clear human accountability. \nMEDAIGENCY will bring together healthcare professionals\, emergency responders\, policymakers\, community representatives\, and humanitarian and aid workers for a practical one-day training on understanding and using AI responsibly in health emergencies. \nParticipants will attend in person at local venues in Lebanon\, Italy\, Türkiye and Palestine. The hybrid learning approach will combine in-room facilitation with online instruction connecting participants and experts across the four countries. \nNo coding or advanced technical knowledge is required. \n\n                        \n                        \n                           \n                               \n                              What will participants learn?\n                           \n                        \n                        \n                        \nBy the end of the training\, participants will be better able to: \n\nExplain what AI is\, how machine learning models are trained\, and what types of AI are relevant to public health emergencies.\nIdentify appropriate and inappropriate uses of AI in health crisis management\, and recognize AI capabilities and limitations.\nApply a simple framework for when to follow\, question\, or override an AI recommendation.\nUnderstand the key components of an AI system.\nKnow the main categories of AI ethics and applied ethical risk (bias\, fairness\, governance\, etc.).\nApply a structured framework for prioritizing ethical issues in their country context.\n\nThe training will emphasize that AI should support—not replace—professional expertise\, institutional responsibility and local knowledge. \n\n                        \n                        \n                           \n                               \n                              Who should apply?\n                           \n                        \n                        \n                        \nThe training is intended for: \n\nHealthcare professionals;\nEmergency responders;\nPolicymakers and public-sector representatives;\nCommunity representatives;\nHumanitarian and aid workers; and\nProfessionals supporting health-emergency preparedness and response.\n\nApplicants from public institutions\, civil-society organizations\, healthcare providers\, emergency services\, universities\, international organizations and related sectors are encouraged to apply. \n\n                        \n                        \n                           \n                               \n                              Practical information\n                           \n                        \n                        \n                        \nDate: 7 October 2026\nTime: 09:00–16:00\nFormat: One-day\, in-person training using a hybrid learning approach\nLocations: Beirut\, Lebanon | Naples\, Italy | İzmir\, Türkiye | Birzeit\, Palestine\nLanguage: English\, with live translated captions available\nCertificate: Participants completing the training will receive a certificate of attendance\nRegistration deadline: 30 September 2026 \n\n                        \n                        \n                           \n                               \n                              Registration\n                           \n                        \n                        \n                        \nComplete the registration form by 30 September 2026: \nRegister for the training \nSubmitting the form does not automatically confirm participation.
