Abstract

Purpose: Numerous student surveys carried out worldwide has shown significant dilemmas, confusion about choosing Radiology as a future specialty due to emergence of artificial intelligence(AI). To know the influence of AI on medicine students choice in favoring Radiology as a future specialty, in this part of India, the survey was taken. International student surveys have shown considerable anxiety about pursuing radiology as a career due to artificial intelligence (AI). For a counterpart study in the US, we examined the impact of AI on US medical students' choice of radiology as a career, and how such impact is influenced by student’s opinions on exposures to AI and radiology. Methods: This study was conducted in North India across two universities. About ten medical schools participated in this anonymous online survey. Medical students pursuing their fourth and fifth year medicine course were included in study. Respondents ranking of radiology with AI and without AI were compared. Subjective opinions of medical students on radiology and AI, who put radiology on top three choices were compared to others. Students who consider Radiology in their first top three choices but changes their preference due to AI was statistically studied. Results:41.2% of participants ranked radiology specialty as their first choice. 24.5% of participants will not consider radiology specialty as their preference if AI did not exist.35% of medical students will have radiology as their first choice if AI did not exist. 44.1% are concerned about considering radiology as a specialty due to AI. 51.8% agree that there will be reduced job opportunities for radiologists due to replacement by AI in their lifetime. 62.3% agree that AI will enhance the efficiency of practicing radiology specialists.39% of participants who chose radiology as their preferred first choice believe that pre clinical lectures will be the most favorable way to acquire knowledge about AI in radiology, Conclusion: AI has a negative impact to some extent on Indian medical students from north India as a future specialty. Also there is prevailing confusion and dilemma regarding AI. Few of the students were also curious about AI.
