Abstrakt: Background: To outline the resources deemed most beneficial to medical students during their general surgery clerkship, as well as to examine their link to students' general surgery scores and the usage of artificial intelligence in general surgery study.
Methods: A retrospective survey of Jordanian medical students from six universities was done between March and June 2023 using a 7-item questionnaire covering questions concerning general surgery study methods and scores. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate demographic data. Chi-square is used to evaluate categorical data, with a P value <0.05 deemed significant.
Results: The average age of respondents was 23.3 years, and 54.2 % of the respondents were females, 47.8 % were from Mutah University. Most students (48.2 %) relied on tutor lectures. Students who studied through instructor lectures had the highest grades (9 % excellent, 17 % very good), followed by students who studied using surgery textbooks (6.8 % and 14.6 %, respectively). The relationship between the study method and academic achievement was statistically significant ( P  < 0.05).
Conclusions: Traditional face-to-face learning with instructor lectures and surgery textbooks is still the most efficient approach to attain the greatest scores. Medical students are still underutilizing artificial intelligence.
