Abstract

BACKGROUND: Modernizing medical education by using artificial intelligence and other new technologies to improve the clinical thinking ability of medical students is an important research topic in recent years. Prominent medical universities are actively conducting research and exploration in this area. In particular, given the shortage of human resources, the need to maintain social distancing to prevent the spread of the epidemics, and the increase in the cost of medical education, it is critical to harness online learning to promote medical education. A virtual case learning system that uses natural language processing technology to process and present a hospital's real medical records and evaluate student responses can effectively improve medical students' clinical thinking abilities.
