ABSTRACT:

Background

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping healthcare, yet its integration into medical education remains limited. This study assesses undergraduate healthcare students' knowledge and perceptions of AI, its applications, challenges, and the need for AI education in healthcare curricula.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted at Riphah International University from August to October 2023, involving 939 undergraduate students from medical, dental, pharmacy, nursing, and physical therapy disciplines. Data was collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed using IBM SPSS Version 26. Inferential statistical test such as The Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann-Whitney U tests were applied to compare AI knowledge and perceptions across disciplines and genders.
