Intelligent Mind® Institute

Intelligent Mind Institute is the education division of Intelligent Mind® Pty Ltd (ABN 91 691 526 351), an Australian company founded by Dr Rajan Kailainathan — a practising emergency physician with dual fellowship of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (FACEM) and the Royal College of Emergency Medicine UK (FRCEM). The Institute delivers structured, clinically grounded AI education for health professionals, built by a clinician who uses these tools in active practice.

Working health professionals who carry documentation, administrative, and knowledge management burdens in their daily practice. The primary audience is emergency physicians and hospitalists, but the curriculum applies across general practice, nursing, allied health, research, and academic medicine. If your clinical work involves documentation, referrals, audit data, evidence synthesis, or patient communication — this programme is relevant to you.

If you have never used AI tools systematically in your clinical work, start with IMI-01. If you already use AI tools regularly and confidently, contact us at [email protected] — the programme director will assess whether direct entry at IMI-02 is appropriate. IMI-03 requires completion of IMI-02 or demonstrated equivalent capability.

Not for IMI-01. No prior AI experience is assumed and no technical background is required. Participants who have never opened an AI tool and participants who use AI occasionally but unsystematically are equally well-served. For IMI-02 and IMI-03, prior AI experience is expected — see the prerequisites for each programme.

IMI-02 requires IMI-01 or demonstrated equivalent experience. IMI-03 requires IMI-02 or equivalent. If you are already using AI tools regularly and confidently in your clinical practice, contact us at [email protected] — direct entry is assessed individually by the programme director and granted where capability is demonstrated.

The programme director will have a brief conversation with you about your current AI tool use, your experience with structured prompting, and your comfort working independently with AI tasks. There is no formal test. The goal is to confirm you won't be left behind in a programme that assumes prior capability — not to create barriers.

It may. Contact [email protected] with details of what you've completed. The programme director assesses equivalency individually. Formal accreditation of the prior course is less important than demonstrated practical capability.

You get instant access to the Diagnostic Prompt Training Module (video and PDF workbook), a welcome video from Dr Rajan, your pre-cohort preparation guide, and a tax invoice. Your portal account is created automatically and your cohort schedule is confirmed.

Payment is processed securely via Stripe. All major credit and debit cards are accepted.

Yes. A tax invoice is issued automatically on registration — attached to your confirmation email and available for download from your portal at any time. Many participants submit this to their employer or professional development fund for reimbursement independently.

Yes. A full series bundle (IMI-01, IMI-02, and IMI-03) is available at a reduced price. See the programme pages for current pricing. Early bird pricing is also available for a limited period before each cohort closes.

Tiered refund based on time from cohort start: 100% more than 3 months before, 50% between 1 and 3 months before, non-refundable within 1 month. We offer a free transfer to any future cohort within 12 months as the first option before a cash refund. If IMI cancels a cohort, you receive a full refund or free transfer regardless of timing. Australian Consumer Law guarantees are preserved. Contact [email protected] and see /terms#refunds for the full policy.

Each programme runs over four weeks. Each week includes one live online session (60 minutes via Zoom) and one self-directed hour completed independently. Total commitment is eight hours per programme — four live sessions and four self-directed hours.

Approximately two hours per week — one live session and one self-directed hour. The self-directed hours are structured around real tasks from your own clinical practice, so the time is productive rather than abstract.

Each self-directed hour is a structured activity tied to the preceding live session. You apply what you learned to a real task from your own practice, then write a structured reflection responding to four specific prompts. Reflections are submitted to the programme director and reviewed by faculty. They form the core of your CPD evidence package.

Reflections should be submitted within 48 hours of completing the activity. This keeps the reflection genuine and connected to the actual experience rather than reconstructed from memory days later.

All live sessions are recorded and available in your portal within 48 hours. Recordings exist for genuine clinical commitments — not as a default pathway. The certificate of completion requires engagement with at least 6 of the 8 sessions (live or via recording) and all four written reflections submitted. Participants who engage live consistently report richer learning from the peer discussion that recordings cannot replicate.

Cohorts are deliberately small — a maximum of 20 participants. This allows genuine peer discussion in live sessions and meaningful faculty review of every reflection. It is not a broadcast lecture series.

The Diagnostic Prompt is the signature framework of this series. Before asking AI to produce anything, you learn to let AI interrogate your thinking — surfacing assumptions, constraints, and blind spots that would otherwise produce weaker outputs. Grounded in Socratic coaching methodology and the clinical parallel of structured history-taking, it is a repeatable pre-task method that improves AI output quality and sharpens your own thinking simultaneously. It is introduced in IMI-01 and applied to progressively complex problems across IMI-02 and IMI-03.

No — it is taught in Week 1, Hour 1 of IMI-01. However, participants receive the Diagnostic Prompt Training Module (video and PDF workbook) immediately on registration, four weeks before the cohort starts. Working through it before Week 1 accelerates your learning considerably.

Across the three programmes: Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT/GPT-4o (OpenAI), Gemini Deep Research (Google), NotebookLM (Google), Perplexity AI, Microsoft Copilot in Excel and PowerPoint, AI ambient scribing tools, and Make.com for workflow automation. Teaching is task-first — we identify what needs to be done clinically, then show which tools handle it best, with explicit acknowledgement that the landscape evolves.

Yes — and this is taught explicitly, not treated as a footnote. We teach parallel workflows for personal devices (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, NotebookLM, Perplexity) and locked-down hospital computers (Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft 365). Every demonstration that uses a personal-device tool includes the equivalent hospital workflow — so you leave knowing exactly what you can use today, in the environment you're actually in, and with clear language for advocating appropriate AI access within your institution.

The programme is designed around paid tiers of the core tools, and this is intentional. Paid tiers unlock the capabilities — longer context, deeper reasoning, better outputs — that make the workflows worth learning. Free tiers exist and can be used where needed, but the experience and output quality will be more limited. We are transparent about this throughout the programme rather than designing around constraints that would limit what you can actually do in practice.

Some sessions do require software installation beyond a web browser, and we want to be upfront about this. Depending on which programme you complete and which environment you work in, you may need to install add-ins such as Claude for Excel, Copilot for Excel, GPT for Excel, and their equivalents for PowerPoint. IMI-03 introduces Claude Desktop and Codex for AI-assisted tool development. Installation instructions are provided in advance of the relevant sessions and are straightforward — no technical background is required. If you have IT restrictions on your work device, a personal laptop is sufficient for all installations.

No — and this is the right way to work with AI in clinical practice, not just a rule to follow. All exercises use synthetic or de-identified data, and building that habit is a deliberate part of the curriculum. Consumer AI platforms are not appropriate environments for identifiable patient information — the reasoning behind this is taught clearly so you understand it, not just comply with it. Your institution and jurisdiction provide the specific guidance; the programme gives you the principles that apply everywhere.

Yes. The principles the programme teaches — working with de-identified data, building verification habits, knowing when to escalate — transfer across every major framework. The specific rules differ by jurisdiction and institution; the underlying clinical reasoning discipline does not. We teach you the principles; you apply them in your context.

The programme teaches safe, responsible AI use throughout — this is embedded in every workflow, not added as a compliance module. We introduce the major governance frameworks, teach you to recognise when a boundary requires institutional or jurisdictional guidance, and build the habit of escalating appropriately rather than proceeding with uncertainty. What we don't do is teach governance as a discipline in itself. This is an AI fluency programme. Comprehensive governance, legal compliance, and institutional policy remain the responsibility of each participant, their institution, and their jurisdiction. Our role is to ensure you understand the principles clearly enough to work responsibly within whatever framework applies to you.

AI in this programme is consistently framed as augmenting clinical reasoning, not replacing it. Every workflow taught includes a human review step. The Diagnostic Prompt itself is premised on sharpening your thinking before AI produces anything. The programme teaches clinicians to be more capable — not more dependent.

The programme is structured for ACEM CPD submission across three categories: Educational Activities (EA), Reviewing Performance (RP), and Measuring Outcomes (MO). Formal accreditation is currently being finalised. Each programme provides 8 CPD hours. Completing the full series of three programmes provides 24 hours — structured to satisfy ACEM's annual minimums across all three categories.

Formal accreditation is being finalised with ACEM. Participants outside Australia should check with their relevant college or professional body — most accept structured learning activities with documented outcomes toward their CPD requirements. We provide every participant with a signed facilitator verification letter, attendance confirmation, and completed reflections, which together constitute the evidence package most colleges require for self-directed CPD submission. Contact your college's CPD team with these documents if you are uncertain about eligibility.

On completing all sessions and submitting your four structured reflections, you receive a Certificate of Completion from Intelligent Mind Institute, a signed facilitator verification letter confirming your CPD hours and category breakdown, and your four approved reflections. Together these form a complete CPD evidence package for portfolio submission. Records are retained by Intelligent Mind® Pty Ltd for a minimum of three years.

Faculty will return a reflection with specific written feedback explaining what is missing. Returned reflections can be revised and resubmitted. The standard is not difficult to meet — reflections need to be specific to your own practice, based on genuine attempts at the tasks, and substantive enough to constitute credible CPD evidence. Generic or abstract responses that could have been written without doing the activity are returned.
