Abstract:
ChatGPT3.5 is a promising tool for medical education. It provides an affordable, accessible platform for medical students to practice their clinical skills across various medical scenarios. Additionally, it complements, not replaces, actual patient-doctor interactions due to its lack of real physical examination and emotional and non-verbal communication capabilities. Finally, effective utilization of ChatGPT requires careful prompt crafting and clinician guidance to navigate its limitations.
