Summary
Medical students and pathology residents show awareness of artificial intelligence (AI) but desire more formal education. Integrating AI into medical curricula is crucial for future healthcare professionals.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
- Digital Health
Background:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to transform medical practice.
- Understanding medical students' perspectives is vital for developing relevant AI training and curricula.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess and compare AI-related attitudes among medical students in general medicine and pathology.
- To understand the anticipated role of AI in healthcare from trainees' perspectives.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study utilizing a web-based, closed-ended questionnaire.
- Survey distributed to medical students and pathology residents across public institutions in Jordan.
Main Results:
- 69% of respondents were aware of AI in medicine, primarily through external websites, with limited awareness from medical schools.
- Over half agreed AI could automate disease diagnosis (54.1%), with medical students showing higher agreement than pathology residents (P=.04).
- A significant portion (42.4%) expressed fear of AI developments, and 66.2% felt their institutions inadequately prepared them for AI's role.
Conclusions:
- Medical school curricula should incorporate AI education to enhance student understanding and attitudes towards AI.
- Students expressed a need to learn about AI applications, potential risks, and ethical considerations.
- This study highlights the global need for a standardized approach to AI instruction for medical students, consistent with international findings.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
