Effectiveness of Informed AI Use on Clinical Competence of General Practitioners and Internists: Pre-Post Intervention Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Artificial intelligence (AI) shows promise in clinical diagnosis, treatment support, and health care efficiency. However, its adoption in real-world practice remains limited due to insufficient clinical validation and an unclear impact on practitioners' competence. Addressing these gaps is essential for effective, confident, and ethical integration of AI into modern health care settings.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of informed AI use, following a tailored AI training course, on the performance of general practitioners (GPs) and internists in test-based clinical competence assessments and their attitudes toward clinical AI applications.

Methods

A pre-post intervention study was conducted with 326 physicians from 39 countries. Par
