To evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on undergraduate medical students' choice of radiology as a specialty.
In February 2019, an anonymous online survey was sent to medical students. The research contemplated questions on how much students think they know about AI technologies, how much AI discourages them from choosing radiology as a specialty, and whether they believe there is a threat to the radiology job market.
A total of 101 students, most of them doing their internship, answered the questionnaire. More than half of them (52.5%) said they believe AI poses a threat to the radiology job market, but 64.3% claimed not to have proper knowledge about these new technologies, and 31.7% said they would like more information on the technologies' operation and progress before making a decision on whether or not to practice radiology as a specialty.
A significant proportion of the surveyed students perceive AI as a threat to the radiological practice, which impacts their career choice. However, the majority claims to have insufficient knowledge of it and believes more information is needed for decision-making.
评估人工智能(AI)对本科医学生选择放射科作为专业的影响。
2019年2月,向医学生发送了一份匿名在线调查问卷。该研究考虑了关于学生认为自己对人工智能技术了解多少、人工智能在多大程度上阻碍他们选择放射科作为专业以及他们是否认为放射科就业市场存在威胁等问题。
共有101名学生回答了问卷,其中大多数人正在实习。超过一半(52.5%)的人表示他们认为人工智能对放射科就业市场构成威胁,但64.3%的人声称对这些新技术没有足够的了解,31.7%的人表示在决定是否将放射科作为专业之前,他们希望获得更多关于技术操作和进展的信息。
相当一部分接受调查的学生认为人工智能对放射科实践构成威胁,这影响了他们的职业选择。然而,大多数人声称对其了解不足,并认为需要更多信息来做出决策。
