Published Date: Jul 3, 2025

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Recent advancements in artificial intelligence have shown promise in enhancing diagnostic precision within healthcare sectors. In emergency departments, artificial intelligence has demonstrated potential for improving triage, guiding the choice of radiologic imaging and crafting individualized medical notes and discharge summaries, including tailored care plans. Advances in generative artificial intelligence have led to the development of sophisticated models such as OpenAI's GPT-4. This study assessed the ability of generative artificial intelligence in diagnosis and management in emergency medicine. Specifically, we compared GPT-4 with the performance of emergency medicine trainees in Canada, as gauged by the Canadian In-Training Examination.
