Clinicians embrace GenAI-but 61% say they'll need retraining to keep up with its impact
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QuestionPro, in partnership with healthcare insight and strategy consultancy Day One Strategy, today announced the release of its latest industry report: The 2025 Clinician AI Readiness Survey. Based on responses from 500 U.S. physicians across five specialties, the report reveals a sharp contrast between rising AI adoption in medicine and low clinical readiness.
According to the survey, 61% of physicians expect to retrain due to generative AI, and 55% believe their roles will significantly change. Yet only 1 in 5 feel prepared to integrate these tools into clinical care.
"This data shows clinicians are leading AI adoption-but without the support they need," said Reena Sooch, Partner at Day One Strategy. "They're curious and optimistic, but lacking guardrails."
Despite limited training, clinicians are already adopting GenAI on their own. 88% report using ChatGPT, and many are experimenting with platforms like CoPilot, Gemini, and Med-PaLM. Common applications include research (64%), documentation (63%), and ambient listening (54%). Specialty-specific uses range from genomic analysis in oncology to remote monitoring in cardiology.
"This is a wake-up call for the healthcare industry," said Arti Bedi Pullins, President and Chief Healthcare Officer at QuestionPro. "AI can give clinicians back precious time to focus on patient care, but its success depends on how we support them. We need to listen, train, and move thoughtfully so these tools become true partners in healthcare."
This online fieldwork was conducted by the QuestionPro Research Services team between April 22th 2025 - May 23th 2025. A total of 500 Clinicians completed the survey
