Introduction

Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined as the ability of technology to mimic human intelligence processes. In nephrology, it represents a unique opportunity to enhance medical education, diagnosis, decision-making, and prognostication. However, the perception of the nephrology community in Latin America regarding its integration into academic training remains unknown.

Objective
To explore the perception of the nephrology community regarding the use of AI in nephrology education through a survey conducted on the social media platform X.

Methods

A three-question cross-sectional survey was designed and disseminated through the X account of GlomConILA. The survey investigated prior exposure to AI during training, interest in incorporating AI into the nephrology curriculum, and areas with the greatest perceived potential for impact.

Results

Question 1: During your nephrology residency, did you receive any training in AI? (n=28) → 71% responded No, 29% Yes.

Question 2: Would you like AI to be included in the nephrology curriculum? (n=25) → 80% Yes, 20% No.

Question 3: Which area of AI would have the greatest impact on nephrology training? (n=9) → 44% image analysis, 33% operational efficiency, 23% decision-making.

Conclusion

Most respondents reported no prior exposure to AI during their medical training, yet there was strong interest in its inclusion within the nephrology curriculum. This exploratory study highlights the enthusiasm of the Latin American renal community and underscores the need for multicenter studies to further define interests and specific educational needs for the design of AI-supported training programs in nephrology.
