AI Interest Stops at the Classroom Door
At one teaching hospital, clinical teachers reported high willingness but much lower routine use of AI for teaching.
Summary
At one teaching hospital, clinical teachers reported high willingness but much lower routine use of AI for teaching.
A survey of 335 clinical teachers found mean AI-adoption intention of 3.93 on a five-point scale but usage behavior of 2.30. Although 78.81 percent reported AI use in daily life and 68.96 percent in research, only 24.48 percent reported using it for teaching. Cognitive trust had the strongest modeled association with intention. The single-hospital, cross-sectional convenience sample cannot establish cause or represent clinical education broadly.
