PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the perspectives and experiences of healthcare academics regarding the impact of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI)-supported language model, on education and research. SAMPLE AND METHODS: This qualitative study employed a phenomenological analysis approach. The study sample consisted of nine academics from the Faculty of Health Sciences at a university in Türkiye, selected through purposive sampling method. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, coded using the MAXQDA software, and analyzed using content analysis. RESULTS: The participants highlighted that while ChatGPT offers rapid access to information, it occasionally fails to provide current and accurate data. They also noted that the students' misuse of ChatGPT for assignments and exams has a negative effect on their critical thinking and information retrieval skills. The academics reported that there is a need for expert oversight and verification of the data generated by ChatGPT. CONCLUSION: While ChatGPT offers significant benefits such as enhanced efficiency in academic research and education, it also presents challenges, including accuracy and ethical concerns. Institutions should integrate ChatGPT with clear guidelines to maximize its benefits while maintaining academic integrity. Future studies should explore the long-term impacts of AI tools, such as ChatGPT, on educational outcomes and their application across various disciplines
