The professional development curriculum is a vital component in physician training and is important for helping trainees develop as competent and reflective practitioners. The advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) will likely have a significant impact on the assessment of the professional qualities curriculum in physician training. The development of professional qualities as well as self-reflection is currently assessed through personal reflection essays. These reflection essays are particularly vulnerable to new developments in generative AI, which are capable of producing high-quality outputs that can pass as trainee-created responses. Generative AI-produced reflection essays are becoming increasingly difficult to detect using AI-detection software. The challenge remains how best to incorporate AI into learning while safeguarding the attainment and assessment of learning goals within the multiple domains of professional development. This article discusses several options for safeguarding the professional qualities curriculum in medical education and vocational training. Discussion-based activities may very well prove to be a suitable potential replacement for the current professional reflection essay.
专业发展课程是医师培训的重要组成部分，对于帮助受训人员成长为有能力且善于反思的从业者至关重要。生成式人工智能（AI）的出现可能会对医师培训中专业素质课程的评估产生重大影响。目前，专业素质的培养以及自我反思是通过个人反思文章来评估的。这些反思文章特别容易受到生成式AI新发展的影响，因为生成式AI能够生成高质量的内容，这些内容可以冒充受训人员自己创作的回答。使用AI检测软件越来越难以检测出生成式AI生成的反思文章。挑战仍然在于如何在保障专业发展多个领域学习目标的达成和评估的同时，最好地将AI融入学习过程。本文讨论了在医学教育和职业培训中保障专业素质课程的几种选择。基于讨论的活动很可能被证明是当前专业反思文章的合适潜在替代方案。
