Abstract
BACKGROUND: Clinical reasoning is a critical skill for physical therapists, involving the collection and interpretation of patient information to form accurate diagnoses. Traditional training often lacks the diversity of clinical cases necessary for students to develop these skills comprehensively. Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 have the potential to simulate a wide range of clinical scenarios, offering a novel approach to enhance clinical reasoning in physical therapy education.
