To explore the use of ChatGPT by educators and students in a medical school setting.
This study used the public version of ChatGPT launched by OpenAI on November 30, 2022 (https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/). We employed prompts to ask ChatGPT to 1) generate a content outline for a session on the topics of cholesterol, lipoproteins, and hyperlipidemia for medical students; 2) produce a list of learning objectives for the session; and 3) write assessment questions with and without clinical vignettes related to the identified learning objectives. We assessed the responses by ChatGPT for accuracy and reliability to determine the potential of the chatbot as an aid to educators and as a "know-it-all" medical information provider for students.
ChatGPT can function as an aid to educators, but it is not yet suitable as a reliable information resource for educators and medical students.
ChatGPT can be a useful tool to assist medical educators in drafting course and session content outlines and create assessment questions. At the same time, caution must be taken as ChatGPT is prone to providing incorrect information; expert oversight and caution are necessary to ensure the information generated is accurate and beneficial to students. Therefore, it is premature for medical students to use the current version of ChatGPT as a "know-it-all" information provider. In the future, medical educators should work with programming experts to explore and grow the full potential of AI in medical education.
探索医学教育者和学生在医学院环境中使用 ChatGPT。
本研究使用 OpenAI 于 2022 年 11 月 30 日发布的 ChatGPT 公共版本（https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/）。我们采用提示词要求 ChatGPT 生成以下内容：1）为医学生设计的关于胆固醇、脂蛋白和高血脂课程的内容大纲；2）该课程的学习目标清单；3）与识别出的学习目标相关的无临床案例和有临床案例的评估问题。我们根据 ChatGPT 回答的准确性和可靠性来评估其回复，以确定该聊天机器人作为教育者辅助工具以及学生“万事通”型医学信息提供者的潜力。
ChatGPT 可以作为教育者的辅助工具，但还不能作为教育者和医学生可靠的信息资源。
ChatGPT 可以作为医学教育者起草课程和课程内容大纲以及创建评估问题的有用工具。同时，必须谨慎使用，因为 ChatGPT 容易提供错误信息；为了确保生成的信息准确且对学生有益，需要专家监督和谨慎。因此，医学生目前还不能将当前版本的 ChatGPT 用作“万事通”型信息提供者。未来，医学教育者应与编程专家合作，探索和挖掘人工智能在医学教育中的全部潜力。
