To assess the attitude about the importance of introducing education on artificial intelligence (AI) in medical schools' curricula among physicians whose everyday job is significantly impacted by AI.
An anonymous questionnaire was distributed at the national level in Croatia among radiologists and radiology residents practicing in primary, secondary, and tertiary health care institutions, both in the private and the public sectors. The overall response rate was 45% (144 of 321).
A large majority of participants - 89.6% (95% Agresti-Coull confidence interval 0.83-0.94) agreed on the need for education on AI to be included in medical curricula. Answers revealed a very high support across age groups and regardless of subspecialty area. A slightly higher support was present among physicians working in university hospitals compared with those in primary care centers, and among radiology residents compared with radiologists - but these estimated differences are uncertain, and the support levels were clearly high across the considered variables.
Since medical students have previously been shown to support introducing education on AI, a growing literature argues the same for reasons here reviewed, and physicians practicing a highly relevant area (radiology) overwhelmingly agree, we conclude that medical schools should indeed take steps to keep pace with technological progress in medicine by including education on AI in their curricula, be it as part of existing or new courses.
评估在日常工作受到人工智能（AI）显著影响的医生中，对在医学院课程中引入 AI 教育的重要性的态度。
在克罗地亚全国范围内，向在初级、二级和三级医疗机构（包括私营和公共部门）工作的放射科医生和放射科住院医师发放了一份匿名问卷。总体回复率为 45%（321 人中的 144 人）。
绝大多数参与者（89.6%，95%Agresti-Coull 置信区间 0.83-0.94）同意需要在医学课程中纳入 AI 教育。答案表明，各年龄段和专业领域都非常支持。在大学医院工作的医生比在初级保健中心工作的医生以及放射科住院医师比放射科医生的支持率略高，但这些估计差异不确定，而且考虑到的变量的支持水平明显较高。
由于医学生之前曾表示支持引入 AI 教育，越来越多的文献也从这里回顾的原因提出了同样的观点，并且在高度相关领域（放射科）工作的医生也压倒性地表示同意，因此我们得出结论，医学院应该通过在课程中纳入 AI 教育来跟上医学技术进步的步伐，无论是作为现有课程的一部分还是新的课程。
