The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare creates an urgent demand for professionals who can bridge technical expertise with health domain knowledge. Earn your MS in Health AI at Thomas Jefferson University - where data science meets real clinical practice across one of the nation's most integrated urban health ecosystems.
Healthcare is being rebuilt by AI.
From clinical decision support to hospital operations, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how care is delivered, measured, and improved. Yet most organizations lack professionals who understand both healthcare complexity and advanced AI.
This program was built to close that gap.
At Thomas Jefferson University, you won't just learn algorithms - you'll learn how to deploy AI in real clinical environments, responsibly and effectively. The Master of Science in Health Artificial Intelligence (AI) will position Jefferson graduates to responsibly implement and evaluate AI solutions that improve health outcomes and advance health system innovation.
This 33-credit asynchronous-online program has been developed for working professionals and traditional students.
In this program, you will:
- Build predictive models for hospital readmissions and patient risk
- Develop AI tools for clinical decision support
- Apply NLP to REAL electronic health records and clinical notes
- Design AI solutions for workflow optimization and care delivery
- Evaluate models through the lens of ethics, bias, and regulation
Capstone Experience
Work directly with healthcare partners in the Philadelphia region to solve a real, high-impact problem.
The Jefferson Advantage
A Living Health AI Lab
Thomas Jefferson University sits at the center of a uniquely dense healthcare ecosystem, including:
- Jefferson Health
- Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
- Penn Medicine
This means:
- Exposure to real clinical workflows, not simulations
- Opportunities for applied research and partnerships
- Access to one of the most diverse patient populations in the U.S.
- A front-row seat to AI implementation at scale
Program Options
Our AI for Healthcare program has two degree options: a master's degree and an advanced practice certificate. All coursework is 100% online and uses an accelerated term format specifically designed for working professionals. This enables learners to focus on building one set of skills at a time, but still graduate at the same pace as traditional graduate degree programs.
Advanced Practice Certificate (APC) in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Health Analytics Leadership
The Advanced Practice Certificate (APC) in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Health Analytics Leadership gives students and healthcare professionals the practical skills and expertise needed to drive the implementation of AI, find new ways to leverage data and enable better tracking of patient prevention outcomes.
MS in Health Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The Master of Science in Health Artificial Intelligence (AI) equips Jefferson graduates with the skills to responsibility develop, implement and evaluate AI technologies that improve patient care and foster innovation within healthcare systems.
Graduates of the MS program are prepared for roles such as:
- Healthcare AI Leader/Director of AI
- Clinical Data Scientist
- AI Product Manager (Health Tech)
- Digital Health Innovation Lead
- Healthcare Analytics Executive
What Makes Jefferson Different
You graduate with applied experience in healthcare environments, not just technical knowledge of AI.
JCPH Masterclass Webinar Series
The JCPH Masterclass Webinar Series is a free program designed to equip healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers with data-driven, evidence-based skills to improve healthcare quality, policy, and patient outcomes. Our next session will be on May 12. On May 12, Roni Christopher, DHSc, MEd, will discuss practical applications of leadership theory in health settings.
