OpenEvidence, as a physician-facing LLM, is being used by more healthcare professionals month by month. Now, a study analyzes how almost a million US clinicians use it while submitting 271 million AI-enabled clinical queries! "Early-career physicians (use ratio, 2.54) and those in oncology and hematology (2.00), internal medicine (1.88), and family medicine (1.80) submitted a higher-than-average share of queries; treatment and management accounted for 33.1% of physician queries and diagnosis for 13.9%." I really liked their concluding remark: "For much of modern medicine, clinicians have been expected to internalize a body of knowledge through training and maintain it through continuing education. Study findings suggest a growing share of knowledge access is shifting from recall to retrieval." We cannot expect physicians to know everything, but we can expect them to know where to find the information they need. The study: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
