  "abstract": "Introduction Use of Artificial Intelligence in the clinical workforce is becoming increasingly prevalent, scribing tools designed to automate the documentation process is one of them. While such tools enhance efficiency and reduce administrative workload, their impact on the learning experiences of healthcare professionals remains underexplored. Due to the lack of widely accepted usage guidance, their use is also largely unregulated. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effects of using AI Scribing on the learning experience of healthcare students.Method A qualitative study was conducted by in-depth interviewing 9 academics (nursing, physiotherapy, dietetics) working in Higher education institutes in England and Australia. Interview included questions on impact on core skills, soft skills, assessments, and the educator’s opinion on these aspects. The interviews were transcribed and thematically analysed.Results Five main themes identified. 1)Impact on clinical skills: reduced engagement with the documentation process which serves as a mechanism for reinforcing clinical reasoning and decision-making skills. 2)Impact on performance: detachment from the clinical reasoning process, positive time management, standardised notes, recall ability during exams, limited reflective learning. 3)Impact on communication skills: improving clinician-patient relationship, lack of adaptive feedback. 4)Impact on Professional development: decline in confidence to independently compose comprehensive clinical notes, over-reliance on AI. 5)Technology/Legal and Ethical related concerns: data safety, accuracy of software, privacy, confidentiality and consent.Conclusion Both pros and cons were reported. Suggestions were made to create educationally aware tools and targeted mentorship to preserve the educational value of clinical documentation in an AI-augmented era.",
