aceAdoption, usage patterns, and perceptions of DeepSeek among medical interns: Evidence from a Chinese Teaching Hospital
Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven chatbots based on large language models are increasingly entering medical education, but evidence on the real-world use of domestic systems such as DeepSeek among Chinese medical interns is still scarce. This cross-sectional study investigated the prevalence, patterns and perceptions of DeepSeek use among medical interns at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. A total of 634 interns from clinical medicine, preventive medicine and nursing completed an ano…
DeepSeek uptake among interns differed by residence and major, with rural and preventive medicine interns less likely to use it, pointing to uneven access to AI tools in medical training.
The study is a cross-sectional questionnaire at a single hospital that provides only descriptive evidence, so it cannot establish effects on learning or accuracy of the AI output.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2357 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
