In the last decades, the medical practice has been facing noteworthy transformations driven by the advancement of innovative technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This rapid and widespread transition generated the increasing need for an adequate education curriculum, capable of properly teaching medical students about the prospects and potentials of AI in healthcare. In this paper, we aim to present and describe the elaboration and implementation of a new academic program at the University of Mons (UMONS) designed to educate medical students about AI in healthcare. The course was implemented in the 2022-2023 academic year and represents an important step forward in training the next generation of healthcare professionals to effectively leverage AI in their work, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and advances in medical research.
