Generative artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly relevant to healthcare, offering therapists new ways to prepare clinical resources, organize ideas, and support individualized intervention. Tools such as ChatGPT can assist with therapeutic activities, caregiver education, professional communication, and session planning. However, AI should support, not replace, clinical expertise, ethical judgment, and the therapeutic relationship.
We are pleased to introduce a practical AI training designed for therapists and healthcare professionals. The programme will explore how to use generative AI safely and effectively in therapy, with a focus on real clinical applications. Participants will learn how to integrate AI into their professional workflow while maintaining evidence-based practice and individualized care.
A key component of the training is prompt engineering for therapists. Participants will learn how to create clear, specific prompts that produce more relevant and personalized results. They will also explore how to create therapeutic materials for children, teenagers, and adults, including activities, visual supports, social narratives, emotional-regulation resources, and caregiver-friendly explanations adapted to different clinical needs.
Ethics and confidentiality are central to responsible AI use. The training will address patient-data protection, professional boundaries, informed decision-making, and HIPAA compliance where applicable. Therapists will learn how to reduce privacy risks, recognize inaccurate or biased information, and critically review all AI-generated content before using it in clinical practice.
The programme is suitable for speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals. Through practical examples and clinical case applications, participants will develop the knowledge and confidence to decide when AI is useful, when content requires modification, and when professional judgment must take priority.
Participants will receive 11 CPD points, with the programme certified or recognized by the UAE Department of Health. The training is designed to help clinicians use AI safely, wisely, and effectively while keeping confidentiality, accountability, and patient wellbeing at the centre of practice.
Generative AI may become a valuable part of modern clinical workflows, but its success will depend on responsible human oversight. Therapists must question, verify, and adapt every AI-generated response through their own professional knowledge. For clinicians ready to take the next step into AI-powered therapy, this training offers a practical and ethical foundation for meaningful innovation.
