Incorporating AI tools into medical education: harnessing the benefits of ChatGPT and Dall-E
Open accessAbstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promising potential to transform various fields, including medical education. Recently, the rapid advancement of AI has led to many ``new'' discoveries that caught everyone's attention. Among those discoveries are introduced by OpenAI (e.g., ChatGPT, Dall-E, and the most recent, GPT-4). The integration of AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Dall-E, can offer a new dimension to medical education by creating an interactive and engaging learning experience. In this article, we explore the potential benefits of ChatGPT and Dall-E in medical education and provide practical utilization examples of those tools. For starters, ChatGPT, or in this sense, any other similar large language models, can simulate patient interactions in a safe environment, allowing medical learners to practice their communication skills and diagnosis techniques. Furthermore, it can assist medical students and researchers in reading and writing academic articles by accurately summarizing the key points of a given topic and generating an indistinguishable abstract. In addition, ChatGPT can also create problems for medical assignments and exam practice. In this article, we also discussed ChatGPT's capability to answer standard medical assignment problems. Dall-E, on the other hand, can generate dummy copyright-free and consent-free medical images (e.g., x-ray and electrocardiogram (ECG) graphs), allowing medical learners to practice and enhance their interpretation skills. Incorporating AI-based tools into medical education can provide a new approach to teaching and learning, bridging the gap between theory and practice, and unlocking new avenues for learning and discoveries for both, the students and the instructors. It can also offer a cost-effective solution to simulate real-world scenarios that would otherwise require significant resources and time. In summary, this article concludes that AI-based tools have the potential to revolutionize medical education, empowering medical learners with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their field.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
