Aim/Purpose/Objective: The study aimed to explore the utilization of AI tools in medical education among undergraduate medical students at a public medical school in Sarawak Malaysia. Method: A mixed-method cross-sectional survey was conducted from October 2023 to August 2024 among 185 undergraduate medical students from year one to year five at a public medical school in Sarawak.
