Teaching with AI: A Practical Workshop for Allied Health Educators

Live on Zoom · Thursday, October 1, 2026 · 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET · 90 minutes

Presented by Dr. Doug Hughes, EdD — League AI Fellow, 20+ year allied-health educator, program director & accreditation site visitor.

AI is reshaping healthcare education whether we’re ready or not. In this practical, tool-agnostic workshop, you’ll learn how to use AI to cut prep time, build stronger lessons and assessments, and guide students responsibly — all aligned to accreditation standards and certification-exam blueprints. You’ll leave with a starter toolkit of prompts and workflows you can use in your very next class.

Agenda (90 minutes)

  • 0:00–0:10 — The landscape: what AI in health-sciences education really is (and the hype to ignore)
  • 0:10–0:30 — High-impact use cases: lesson prep, content, case studies, and assessment
  • 0:30–0:55 — Live build-along: create a lesson, case study, or grading rubric with AI (bring a course topic)
  • 0:55–1:15 — Assessment & academic integrity when your students have AI too
  • 1:15–1:25 — Responsible use: policy, ethics, and coaching students
  • 1:25–1:30 — Q&A + your prompt toolkit + next steps

What you’ll be able to do

  1. Identify high-impact, ethical uses of AI in allied-health instruction.
  2. Use AI to draft lessons, case studies, and competency assessments aligned to accreditation/exam blueprints — faster.
  3. Design assessments that hold up in the AI era and protect academic integrity.
  4. Apply a simple framework for responsible, policy-aware AI use with students.

For Deans & Supervisors — Why Approve This

This 90-minute workshop is a high-ROI, low-cost investment in your faculty and program:

  • Saves faculty time — practical AI workflows that cut lesson, case-study, and assessment prep.
  • Protects academic integrity — strategies for assessment now that students have AI, too.
  • Keeps your program current and compliant — content aligned to accreditation standards and certification-exam blueprints, led by a former program director and ARC/STSA accreditation site visitor.
  • Team-friendly — a $75/seat rate for 4+ faculty makes it easy to upskill a whole program at once.
  • Institutional payment — POs and invoices accepted; W-9 provided on request.

Total cost is a fraction of a typical conference registration, with immediately usable takeaways and a recording your faculty can revisit.
