Exploring the use and perceived impact of artificial intelligence in medical internship: a cross-sectional study of Palestinian doctors

This cross-sectional study highlights the widespread use of AI among internship doctors in Palestine and generally positive perceptions of its educational value, particularly for academic performance and clinical competence. However, it also reveals a substantial gap in formal AI training, suggesting a need for structured, ethically grounded AI education in medical curricula. Because the study is exploratory and cross-sectional, these findings should be interpreted as perceived associations rather than evidence that AI use or training causes improved outcomes; future longitudinal and interventional studies are needed to clarify long term effects.
