The aim is to understand their awareness, experiences, and opinions about using artificial intelligence (AI) in surgery. The survey includes all cadres-house officers, medical officers, registrars, residents, specialists, consultants, and general practitioners who perform surgical procedures-working in public, private, NGO, and military hospitals across Sudan.\n\nParticipants are asked about their familiarity with AI, barriers to its use (such as poor infrastructure, lack of training, or cost), interest in training, and possible uses in Sudan's health system, especially in conflict-affected areas. The study does not test any AI tools but collects information to help design future AI solutions that work offline, in low-bandwidth conditions, and meet the needs of surgeons and surgical teams in Sudan."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'All Sudanese doctors actively providing surgical care across Sudan, including house officers, medical officers, registrars/residents, specialists, consultants, and general practitioners who perform surgical procedures.
