NCT ID NCT07460258
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how different ways of reading English medical literature—original text, bilingual comparison, or full translation—affect medical students' understanding, mental effort, and writing skills. Researchers will also check if relying on AI translation leads to a 'terminology shortage.' About 160 medical students will participate.
