Generative-AI (GAI) models like ChatGPT are becoming widely discussed and utilized tools in medical education. For example, it can be used to assist with studying for exams, shown capable of passing the USMLE board exams. However, there have been concerns expressed regarding its fair and ethical use. We designed an electronic survey for students across North American medical colleges to gauge their views on and current use of ChatGPT and similar technologies in May, 2023. Overall, 415 students from at least 28 medical schools completed the questionnaire and 96% of respondents had heard of ChatGPT and 52% had used it for medical school coursework. The most common use in pre-clerkship and clerkship phase was asking for explanations of medical concepts and assisting with diagnosis/treatment plans, respectively. The most common use in academic research was for proof reading and grammar edits. Respondents recognized the potential limitations of ChatGPT, including inaccurate responses, patient privacy, and plagiarism. Students recognized the importance of regulations to ensure proper use of this novel technology. Understanding the views of students is essential to crafting workable instructional courses, guidelines, and regulations that ensure the safe, productive use of generative-AI in medical school.
像ChatGPT这样的生成式人工智能（GAI）模型正成为医学教育中被广泛讨论和使用的工具。例如，它可用于辅助备考，已显示出有能力通过美国医师执照考试委员会（USMLE）的考试。然而，人们对其公平和道德使用表达了担忧。2023年5月，我们为北美医学院的学生设计了一项电子调查，以了解他们对ChatGPT及类似技术的看法和当前使用情况。总体而言，来自至少28所医学院的415名学生完成了问卷，96%的受访者听说过ChatGPT，52%的人在医学院课程学习中使用过它。在临床实习前和临床实习阶段，最常见的用途分别是寻求医学概念的解释和协助制定诊断/治疗计划。在学术研究中，最常见的用途是校对和语法编辑。受访者认识到ChatGPT的潜在局限性，包括回答不准确、患者隐私和抄袭问题。学生们认识到制定法规以确保正确使用这项新技术的重要性。了解学生的观点对于制定可行的教学课程、指导方针和法规至关重要，这些措施可确保在医学院安全、有效地使用生成式人工智能。
