Aim: Today, the impact of technological changes accelerating in all areas of human life is also reflected in the health sector. In a sustainable health system, health/medical technologies are important for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment process and rehabilitation of patients. This research was conducted to determine the level of advanced technology use of physicians working in hospitals in a province. Method: The research was conducted on physicians (n=313) working in universities, public and private hospitals. Personal Information Form and Physicians' Advanced Technology Usage Opinions form were used to collect data. Data were evaluated using frequency, mean, minimum and maximum values, standard deviation, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis. Results: The mean age of the physicians was 36.22±10.02. 57.5% of the participants are male, 40.6% have 1-5 years of service and 11 years or more. Physicians' Advanced Technology Usage Views total score was found to be 77.16±12.62(34-102). Opinion score of physicians working in surgical departments compared to physicians working in internal departments, physicians working in public hospitals compared to physicians working in private hospitals, physicians with academic titles as research assistants, physicians with 11 years or more working time in their current institution, using advanced technology and being aware of the problems that technology will bring. was found to be significantly higher than the mean. Conclusion: It was determined that the positive opinions of the physicians towards the use of advanced technology were moderate. In line with this result, it is thought that it is important to determine the appropriate methods to use and evaluate technology in treatment, as well as to prevent preventive medicine practices from being pushed into the background with the spread of advanced technology, and to prevent the structuring of medical education in a way that will train technology-dependent physicians.
