Abstract
Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained increased attention in higher education with the identification of several strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats regarding its utility. The aim of this study was to ascertain how doctoral programs in health sciences utilize AI as academicians and instructors.
Methods: An electronic survey was distributed to all Association of Doctoral Programs in Health Science (ADPHS) members on the mailing list (n=51), with n=19 (37.3%) voluntarily responding.
Results: The findings revealed both enthusiasm and caution regarding the use of AI in doctoral health sciences education, reflecting similar broader trends identified in the literature. Despite institutional policy gaps and implementation challenges, 83% of respondents reported using AI, with 69% expressing high confidence.
Discussion: Institutional support and guidance are essential for the integration of AI into educational practices. By adopting a proactive, mission-driven approach to policy and practice, higher education can set an example for the responsible development and use of AI in teaching and learning.
