Using AI to advance small business operations

Open-source curricula, recorded talks, and practical tooling that help pre-medical students, practicing clinicians, solo and small practices, developers entering healthcare, and community learners put AI to work — delivered as public education, not paid consulting.

Why this program exists

AI literacy sits behind paywalls for most people who are not at well-funded institutions. Commercial training costs thousands of dollars per seat; conference content evaporates after the event; open-source equivalents are fragmented across repositories that busy people cannot curate. Pre-medical students, working clinicians, solo and small practices, developers moving into healthcare from non-medical backgrounds, and local community learners each need an on-ramp — and each has been under-served by the existing market.

Our approach

We publish open-licensed curricula, recorded talks, and practical tooling at each of those entry points. The Case-Based Clinical Microbiology curriculum is a 32-week detective-style course for pre-medical students; the Claude Code Practical Course teaches AI-assisted engineering to developers, including those launching small practices or entering healthcare; the My Daily Use of Claude Code keynote gives working clinicians a concrete look at an AI-augmented daily workflow; IRB in a Hurry shrinks the documentation overhead for small research groups. Every piece is released open-license, no paywall, and designed so another educator can run it without asking our permission.

What we ship

Four resources are already shipped and linked below, each with open-license source. In preparation is a track outline — Clinical AI for Practising Clinicians — that assembles the best of the existing materials into a physician-focused learning path. We publish the outline here first so clinician-educators and community instructors can shape it before the full lessons are written.

Who benefits

Pre-medical students using the microbiology curriculum, working clinicians adopting AI-augmented workflow from the keynote and track materials, developers launching small healthcare-focused practices via the practical course, and community learners who wanted a path into AI but never had one they could afford. The materials are used in classrooms, conferences, small-practice self-study, and community learning groups — beneficiaries outside our line of sight are exactly the ones the open license is designed to enable.

How to engage

Educators adopting any of the materials, clinicians requesting a speaker at a community event, or developers suggesting improvements are all welcome to reach out. Materials are version-controlled and improvements flow back to the source so every subsequent cohort benefits.
