Abstract

BACKGROUND: Research and evaluation skills are essential in healthcare education. Instructors frequently employ collaborative learning models to teach these competencies; however, delivering timely and personalized feedback to multiple groups can be a significant challenge. This study aimed to investigate the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as a tool for providing feedback on students' research ideas.
