Background and objective Artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in medicine is rapidly expanding, including ambient AI (AAI), which converts clinician-patient conversations into documentation. Despite growing use among practicing physicians, little is known about student access to AAI or barriers to implementation during medical student clerkships.

In a survey of 94 family medicine clerkship directors, only 3.2% had ambient AI available and permitted for students, and 53.2% to 55.3% agreed student use would harm clinical reasoning or communication skills.

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page
Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2393 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
