We know that high quality feedback is invaluable in helping trainees grow and their potential. To answer our research question, we would like to compare feedback provided on medical students’ Experiential Learning Research Project proposals (submitted in M1) between AI and faculty. Feedback from both sources will be provided to participating students, and students will be asked to rate the usefulness of each one (without being told the source). If you are interested in participating, we will ask to collect your research proposals from Elentra, and will contact you with the written feedback and follow-up survey. No identifying information will be delivered to faculty members providing feedback, nor to the AI system. Your participation in this study is voluntary. Your decision to participate will not impact your academic standing nor your evaluation in the research course. The formal grading of your research proposals will still by done by the Course Chair and not by faculty providing feedback for this project. By completing this survey and agreeing to the online consent form, you are providing consent to use your research proposal, and to contact you with the feedback and follow-up survey. Please access the consent form and online survey at this link: https://uwo.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1XNKgk8Ns6aNxEW For any questions about the study, please contact the Principal Investigator Dr. Amrit Kirpalani: amrit.kirpalani@lhsc.on.ca	5 minutes	Online	Both	https://uwo.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1XNKgk8Ns6aNxEW	No	amrit.kirpalani@lhsc.on.ca	10/20/2023

The results from this survey may lead to quality improvement initiatives in Canadian medical education, as well as inform endeavors at increasing student pursuit of IR as a medical specialty, to help mitigate the shortage of Interventional Radiologists in Canada. Briefly, the study involves a 10-minute survey on your understanding of Interventional Radiology (IR), as well as your demographic information to assess the quality of Canada’s undergraduate medical education in IR. After completing the survey, you may choose to enter a draw for one of twenty $25 gift cards.	10 minutes	Online	Both	https://uwo.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0cyP6sc4xwZYfEG	After completing the survey, participants may choose to enter a draw for one of twenty $25 gift cards.

11	5/9/2024 9:56:59	The Use and Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Undergraduate and Postgraduate Medical Education: A Multicentre Study	In recent years, generative AI in the form of chatbots and image generation tools have exploded in popularity and permeated numerous facets of modern society. Current use of generative AI in undergraduate medical education in Ontario has yet to be quantified. The aim of the study is to identify and analyze how generative AI is currently impacting medical education, and to explore the perceptions of future healthcare practitioners. A web-based questionnaire will be created and disseminated to undergraduate medical students across Ontario. The questionnaire will explore the use of generative AI, and attitudes and predictions surrounding its use as a tool for education, communication, and clinical workflow. The responses of the survey will be analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics to characterize the role of generative AI in medical training.	<5 minutes	Online		https://forms.office.com/r/Yi5wUuBe9u	No	Cecilia Tran, cetran@ohri.ca	6/7/2024	Participation is voluntary.
