Surveying Health Professions Students’ Use of Generative AI Applications
While there has been an explosion of interest in the use of generative AI (GenAI) applications in medical education over the past 2 years, relatively little is understood about how health professions students are using this technology. This study aimed to answer these questions by surveying students about their GenAI use. Unsurprisingly, this survey revealed that many students were indeed using these applications, most often for information retrieval.
