a

Percentages for demographic, AI interaction, and AI bias questions are based on participants who responded. Participants could respond with more than 1 answer for the hospital setting and race and ethnicity questions, so totals and percentages are greater than 100%.

b

Years of practice was defined as the number of years since participants completed their terminal medical training (eg, years since completing medical residency).

c

Participants identified their sex by selecting from the following: male, female, nonbinary or nonconfroming, transgender, other, or prefer not to say.
