Medical Student Experiences With ChatGPT: National Cross-Sectional Study
Our study is among the few to examine medical student perceptions of ChatGPT at a national level. We examined responsible use habits to identify areas in which reliance on this technology may lead users astray. We found that ChatGPT is being used to complete academic assignments and write clinical notes, raising concerns about information verification, AI literacy, patient confidentiality, and ethical use. Together, these findings highlight the need for structured AI education to help students leverage these technologies effectively while mitigating risks associated with misinformation and overreliance on AI.
