It was concluded that the integration of AI into the training of health professionals requires a deliberate pedagogical approach, the strengthening of faculty digital competencies, and specific institutional ethical frameworks.
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) poses pedagogical challenges of particular relevance in the training of health professionals. The objective of this research was to explore the perceptions of university faculty in the health sciences regarding the challenges and opportunities of AI in teaching-learning processes in Ecuadorian universities. The study used a qualitative approach with an interpretive phenomenological design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 faculty members from health-related programs at four universities in Ecuador between February and April 2026. The analysis was carried out through thematic coding using Atlas.ti 23. Four categories emerged: (1) opportunities of AI in clinical teaching; (2) ethical and epistemological tensions; (3) gaps in faculty continuing education; and (4) proposals for curricular integration. Participants acknowledged the potential of AI to personalize learning and support diagnostic reasoning, but expressed concerns about technological dependence and the privacy of clinical data. It was concluded that the integration of AI into the training of health professionals requires a deliberate pedagogical approach, the strengthening of faculty digital competencies, and specific institutional ethical frameworks.
It is crucial to consider educators' perceptions and the potential outcomes when using AI in health sciences education, and addressing ethical concerns and providing appropriate training are crucial for ensuring successful and equitable AI integration in the curriculum.

Background: The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI), particularly with platforms like OpenAI, has brought about a paradigm shift in problem-solving and decision-making approaches. One sector that has notably embraced AI is education, where its integration has revolutionized traditional teaching and learning methods. While prior reports have highlighted the opportunities AI presents in education, they also emphasize the associated risks. Despite these concerns, proponents argue that incorporating AI into education could potentially better prepare students for evolving industry demands.
Objective: The objective of this study is to explore the perceptions of faculty and students at the University of [blinded] regarding AI usage in education.
Methods: The study, approved by the [blinded] Institutional Review Board, employed a mixed-methods design. Quantitative data were collected through a cross-sectional survey distributed to faculty and students. The survey included questions on demographics and perceptions of AI in education. Participants were also given the option to express interest in follow-up interviews. Interviews were conducted with willing participants to further explore their views on AI in education.
Results: The quantitative data revealed that the majority of the faculty and students were aware of and somewhat familiar with AI tools. They generally perceived AI as a beneficial addition to education. However, concerns about AI included potential dependency and the ethical implications of AI-generated content. The follow-up interviews provided deeper insights, with participants expressing optimism about AI's potential to transform education while emphasizing the need for robust ethical guidelines and training to maximize its benefits.
Conclusion: The findings suggest a positive perception of AI among both faculty and students at [blinded], highlighting its potential to enhance personalized learning and better prepare students for future industry demands. However, there is a clear need for comprehensive ethical guidelines and training to address concerns about dependency and the ethical use of AI. The study emphasizes the importance of balancing the benefits of AI with the associated risks to ensure its effective and responsible integration into educational practices. Continued research and dialogue are essential to navigate the evolving landscape of AI in education, ultimately aiming to enhance the learning experience and outcomes for students in healthcare education.
