Assessing ChatGPT's Capability as a New Age Standardized Patient: Qualitative Study.

Journal: JMIR medical education
Published Date: May 20, 2025

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Standardized patients (SPs) have been crucial in medical education, offering realistic patient interactions to students. Despite their benefits, SP training is resource-intensive and access can be limited. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly with large language models such as ChatGPT, present new opportunities for virtual SPs, potentially addressing these limitations.
