AI in Academic Writing of PhD Medical Students

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education has significantly impacted teaching and learning methodologies, particularly in medical education for doctoral students. This paper explores the role of AI in enhancing academic writing and language skills, with a specific focus on Czech universities. The theoretical section of the study provides an analysis of Czech universities' approaches to adopting AI technologies in higher education, assessing both the advantages and disadvantages of AI implementation in academic settings. The practical part of the research consists of both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The quantitative component focuses on gathering data on students' academic backgrounds and experience with digital tools, while the qualitative section explores students' attitudes toward AI usage, particularly in relation to reliability, trust, and ethics. The paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role AI plays in language instruction and academic writing for PhD medical students, while also addressing the broader implications of AI adoption in higher education.
