Hallym University (President Choi Yang-hee) was finally selected for the 'Medical Artificial Intelligence Specialized Convergence Talent Training Project' organized by the Korea Health Industry Promotion Agency under the Ministry of Health and Welfare in April.

This project aims to cultivate convergent talents in specialized fields that will lead the growth and innovation of the medical artificial intelligence (AI) industry. Hallym University plans to establish a systematic talent training system in all stages of bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs with 4.75 billion won in research funds over the next five years and focus on producing key talents.

Specifically, information science universities, medical schools, and nursing colleges will participate and operate specialized curriculum such as the establishment and operation of medical artificial intelligence track system and nanodigree courses. Through this, we plan to cultivate practical convergence talents specialized in the diagnosis and prediction of AI based on multi-modal medical information analysis, produce key talents necessary for the medical artificial intelligence industry, and contribute to stabilizing the supply and demand of talent.




In addition, five hospitals under the Hallym University Medical Center (Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital, and Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital) plan to cultivate convergent talents specializing in practical medical artificial intelligence through project practice and internship programs.

The medical artificial intelligence specialized convergence talent training group at Hallym University will be led by Lee Jae-joon, head of Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital, who has extensive experience in developing medical artificial intelligence convergence technologies such as human resources training and research infrastructure through various national projects. In addition to education and research in the medical artificial intelligence field, Won Dong-ok, a professor of artificial intelligence convergence at Hallym University, who has extensive experience in student guidance, will be in charge of planning and operation of the program and strive for the successful promotion of the project.

Won Dong-ok, Head of Business Division, said "Hanlim University's practical medical artificial intelligence specialized convergence talent training group will focus on creating an environment in which students can learn and grow by solving problems in real life such as hospitals, companies, and research institutes through training courses and internships in connection with hospitals.""We will establish a systematic and electrical education system that encompasses academic, master's, and doctoral courses to cultivate globally competitive talents" he said.




Lee Jae-joon, the head of the project, said "We will strive to produce key human resources in specialized fields with the aim of fostering practical medical artificial intelligence specialized convergence talents reflecting on-site demand from hospitals and industries.""Based on close cooperation between universities, hospitals, research institutes, and businesses, we will cultivate field-oriented specialized human resources, thereby creating a virtuous cycle ecosystem in the medical artificial intelligence field, and laying a stable foundation for human resources supply and demand.""

Meanwhile, Hallym University aims to cultivate creative talent that connects the community and the world under the vision of an open university that cultivates creative convergence talents based on AI education. With the selection of this 'Medical Artificial Intelligence Specialized Convergence Talent Cultivation' project, we plan to establish a system to cultivate innovative convergence talents specialized in the medical and artificial intelligence fields to support business stabilization and successful operation.
