Peace be upon you and the mercy of God, dear esteemed audience,
Thanks to God, a research paper that I supervised as the principal investigator has been published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR Medical Education), which is ranked as the top global journal in the field of education for experimental sciences. I wanted to share this joy with you, especially as this achievement comes, by the grace of God, after my participation in publishing four other papers in international journals as part of the "Research Supervision" program that I supervised through (Madwan Academy).
These researches are the culmination of an effort that spanned more than a year, during which I and a group of colleagues supervised trainees eager to master scientific research. Five teams all ended up publishing respectable research, making this program distinctive in its outcomes on the level of Arab countries, by the grace of God the Almighty.
I will explain to the colleagues interested in scientific research more details about our latest research shortly, but for the brothers outside the research and medical field, we say in brief:
In this research, we evaluated the performance of 326 doctors from 39 countries in a test containing medical cases, then we exposed them to a preparatory course in employing artificial intelligence for medical uses, then we allowed them to use artificial intelligence (AI) in the correct guided manner in a post-test containing medical cases as well.
The results were astonishing; where the average performance increased from 57% to 78%, and their confidence and readiness to employ artificial intelligence in their medical practice increased.
For the colleagues with medical specialties and researchers, I would like to provide some scientific details. The research title is: (AI-Guided Clinical Task Execution: Pre-Post Interventional Study) "The Effectiveness of Guided Artificial Intelligence on the Clinical Competence of General Practitioners and Internists: An Interventional Study."
In this study, we recruited doctors and asked them to take a pre-test consisting of seven clinical cases in different medical systems: (Endocrine, Musculoskeletal, Hematology), among others. These cases assess the doctors' skills in:
As well as evaluating their opinions through a perception questionnaire that measures their assessment of the accuracy of artificial intelligence in medical tasks and their confidence in employing it in their medical practice.
After the pre-test, we presented them with the aforementioned course on medical applications of artificial intelligence, then we conducted a post-clinical test (different from the pre-test) in which they could use AI in the manner they had learned.
We used a crossover design to minimize the effect of differences in difficulty; meaning that one group took test (A), then took the course, then took test (B), and another group took test (B), then the course, then test (A). Then we evaluated the change in their performance in the clinical test in terms of the total score and the time required to complete the test, as well as the change in their attitudes towards artificial intelligence.
There was a significant improvement in their performance in the clinical test as a whole, as well as in each of the diagnostic, treatment, and patient counseling skills. Their confidence in artificial intelligence, if used accurately, as well as their readiness to use it in medical practice, also increased.
Indeed, the research is distinguished, by the grace of God, as the reviewers expressed, and what distinguishes it is:
What also distinguishes the research is that it establishes the concept of an Evidence-Based AI Course; meaning that the course we presented has become proven effective by experimental evidence. I also relied on writing the research using artificial intelligence in a wise manner, as we teach the colleagues in the course "Using Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Writing."
I urge you, esteemed audience, to read the full research (the link is in the comments). I will not hide from you how much the supervision of scientific research education and the preparation of advanced medical courses have taken a lot of time and effort, but praise be to God, we are now reaping good fruits.
I consider the publication of these beneficial sciences to be what we worship God the Almighty with and strive for the elevation of our nation. May your supplications be that God helps us to give everyone their due, and that He accepts it from us. We ask for all of you success and guidance, and we ask God to gladden our hearts with the removal of distress from our brothers in Gaza, Sudan, and everywhere, and with the victory of truth and its people.
And our last supplication is that all praise is due to God, the Lord of the worlds. Peace be upon you and the mercy of God.
