“There’s No Blueprint”: Survey Aims to Capture Current Attitudes on AI Education Among Vascular Surgeons
Summary: Amun Hofmann’s European survey (n=130 from 17 countries) gauges vascular surgeons’ views on AI education, finding agreement on necessity but no blueprint for implementation (e.g., mandatory vs optional, national vs supranational). AI’s role in outcome prediction and image recognition is growing, akin to endovascular adoption; survey seeks input on funding/providers to shape curricula, with 300 responses targeted.
Key Highlights:
- Attitudes: Enthusiasm for AI in prediction/image tasks; 80% see education essential.
- Survey: Preferences for mandatory training, funding, providers; geographic gaps.
- Comparison: Like endovascular shift, AI needs workshops/resources without blueprint.
- Method: SurveyMonkey; 130 responses so far; aims 300 for EU representation.
- Implications: Informs vascular wound care AI integration (e.g., CLI/DFU prediction).
