Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Effective communication is a critical skill for surgeons that commences often with history-taking. While simulation-based training is utilized to enhance these skills, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), especially deep language learning models (DLM), offer new opportunities. This study evaluates the integration of DLM as a simulated patient (SP) into surgical history-taking training for senior medical students during clinical rotations.
