Abstract: AI is transforming medical practice and redefining the competencies that future healthcare professionals need to master. Despite international recommendations, the integration of AI into Medicine curricula in Spain had not been systematically evaluated until now. A cross-sectional study (July-September 2025) including Spanish universities offering the official degree in Medicine, according to the 'Register of Universities, Centers and Degrees (Registro de Universidades, Centros y T\'itulos RUCT)'. Curricula and publicly available institutional documentation were reviewed to identify courses and competencies related to AI in the 2025-2026 academic year. The analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. Of the 52 universities analyzed, ten (19.2%) offer specific AI courses, whereas 36 (69.2%) include no related content. Most of the identified courses are elective, with a credit load ranging from three to six ECTS, representing on average 1.17% of the total 360 credits of the degree. The University of Ja\'en is the only institution offering a compulsory course with AI content. The territorial analysis reveals marked disparities: Andalusia leads with 55.5% of its universities incorporating AI training, while several communities lack any initiative in this area. The integration of AI into the medical degree in Spain is incipient, fragmented, and uneven, with a low weight in ECTS. The limited training load and predominance of elective courses restrict the preparation of future physicians to practice in a healthcare environment increasingly mediated by AI. The findings support the establishment of minimum standards and national monitoring of indicators.
Abstract: 人工智能正在改变医疗实践,并重新定义未来医疗专业人员需要掌握的能力。 尽管有国际建议,但直到现在,西班牙将人工智能纳入医学课程的整合尚未被系统评估。 一项横断面研究(2025年7月至9月),包括根据“大学、中心和学位登记册(Registro de Universidades, Centros y Títulos RUCT)”提供官方医学学位的西班牙大学。 审查了课程和公开可用的机构文件,以确定2025-2026学年与人工智能相关的课程和能力。 分析是通过描述性统计进行的。 在分析的52所大学中,有10所(19.2%)提供特定的人工智能课程,而36所(69.2%)则不包含相关内容。 大多数已确定的课程是选修课,学分范围从3到6个ECTS,平均占该学位总360个学分的1.17%。 哈恩大学是唯一一所提供包含人工智能内容必修课程的机构。 地区分析显示存在明显差异:安达卢西亚有55.5%的大学纳入了人工智能培训,而一些地区在这一领域没有任何举措。 人工智能在西班牙医学学位中的整合尚处于初期阶段,分散且不均衡,ECTS权重较低。 有限的培训学分和选修课的主导地位限制了未来医生在日益由人工智能主导的医疗环境中执业的准备。 研究结果支持建立最低标准和国家指标监测。
