Eye care professionals across Australia have the opportunity to transform their practice operations through artificial intelligence (AI), by attending an AI Bootcamp designed to move beyond theoretical knowledge into practical application.
The AI Bootcamp: Hands-On, led by renowned AI strategist Inbal Rodnay, offers professionals a comprehensive day-long workshop focussed on implementing generative AI solutions in real-world clinical and business scenarios.
The curriculum addresses five key areas: tool selection guidance… advanced prompting techniques… leveraging AI as a coach and mentor… building simple automations… and maintaining momentum
The workshop will be relevant to optometrists, ophthalmologists, optical dispensers, and practice managers. It will take place on Friday, 25 July 2025 from 9.30 at CreativeCubes.Co in Richmond.
Ms Rodnay, recognised as one of Australia’s leading voices in AI strategy, brings a refreshingly practical approach to technology adoption. Known for cutting through technical jargon and helping professionals embrace AI on their own terms, she has worked with leaders across multiple industries to implement AI solutions that deliver clear, measurable outcomes.
“This is not a theoretical seminar,” Ms Rodnay observed. “This is a hands-on, tool-driven workshop that will teach you how to use generative AI to solve problems, accelerate your work, and develop capabilities you didn’t know you could.”
The bootcamp specifically targets professionals who have dabbled with AI but suspect they’re only scratching the surface; curious beginners seeking a supportive learning environment; and practice owners looking to save time while improving service quality. Teams requiring a shared AI vocabulary before company-wide implementation will find particular value in the collaborative format.
Work from Your Own Laptop
Participants will work directly on their laptops, practising AI techniques with live, in-person support. The curriculum addresses five key areas: tool selection guidance, including when to use free versus paid plans; advanced prompting techniques to maximise AI accuracy and output quality; leveraging AI as a coach and mentor for higher-order thinking; building simple automations to handle repetitive tasks; and maintaining momentum through continued learning networks.
The workshop format combines live demonstrations, where Ms Rodnay shares her actual AI workflows and chat histories, with practical activities allowing participants to experiment with tools under expert guidance. Examples and case studies are adapted to reflect the specific industries and roles represented in each session, ensuring maximum relevance for eye care professionals.
For practice managers, the bootcamp offers insights into streamlining administrative processes, from appointment scheduling to patient communication. Clinical professionals can explore AI applications in patient education, treatment planning documentation, and research synthesis.
The collaborative environment encourages questions, experimentation, and peer learning, with optional ongoing connection to a community of AI enthusiasts for continued support and knowledge sharing.
