What We Do
Practical, community-driven programs that help Connecticut's healthcare professionals understand and apply AI.
Program One
Learning Sessions & Bootcamps
Learning sessions introduce members to the state of AI in healthcare in plain language: what the technology can do today, where it falls short, and how peer organizations are using it. Hands-on bootcamps go deeper, giving clinicians and staff supervised practice with real tools on realistic tasks.
Our prompt-a-thons put ideas to the test. Members submit prompts and use cases drawn from their day-to-day work, and the group evaluates the results together — what worked, what did not, and what to watch out for.
- Learning sessions open to all members.
- Hands-on bootcamps for clinical and administrative teams.
- Prompt-a-thons that test real use cases in a group setting.
Program Two
Working Groups
Working groups are where the Collaborative's ongoing work happens. Each group focuses on a specific topic — such as clinical documentation, patient communication, administrative workflows, or governance and risk — and convenes to evaluate use cases and develop practical guidance.
Groups operate under a shared charter and operating rules, and their output is made available to the wider membership. Joining a working group is the most direct way to shape the Collaborative's direction.
- Topic-focused groups with a shared charter.
- Member meetings to evaluate use cases and share findings.
- Practical guidance published for the membership.
Program Three
Student & Research Projects
The Collaborative connects Connecticut's academic institutions with its healthcare organizations. Student project teams take on scoped, real-world problems from member organizations, and research collaborations pair clinicians with academic partners studying AI in health.
Organizations can sponsor a student team, propose a project, or host a use case discussion. Students gain experience with genuine healthcare problems; organizations gain capacity and a window into emerging talent.
- Student project teams matched with member organizations.
- Research collaborations with academic partners.
- Mentorship and speaking opportunities for practitioners.
