AI that teaches: an evidence-based GPT model to improve medical student understanding of pulmonary function tests
1Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University, Georgia, USA.
Abstract:
Implication Statement This study explores the integration of an augmented Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) tool with curated scientific sources to enhance the learning of pulmonary function test (PFT) interpretation in pre-clerkship medical education. Our findings suggest that this approach offers notable improvements in accuracy, reliability, and the quality of explanations compared to existing tools, such as Out-of-Box GPT and USMLE Q-Banks. The PFT learning assistant can support medical students in navigating common learning barriers, provide a personalized and scalable approach to evidence-based medical education Énoncé des implications de la recherche Cette étude explore l'intégration d'un outil de transformation générative pré-entraînée (GPT) enrichi de ressources scientifiques sélectionnées afin d'améliorer l'apprentissage de l'interprétation des épreuves fonctionnelles respiratoires (EFR) dans la formation médicale préclinique. Nos résultats suggèrent que cette approche offre des améliorations notables en termes de précision, de fiabilité et de qualité des explications par rapport aux outils existants, tels que le GPT standard et les banques de questions USMLE. Cet assistant d'apprentissage des EFR peut aider les étudiants en médecine à surmonter les obstacles d'apprentissage courants et propose une approche personnalisée et adaptable de la formation médicale fondée sur les preuves.

Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
