Abstract

We evaluated the use of ChatGPT-4, an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) language model, in medical oral examinations, specifically in anesthesiology. Initially proven adept in written examinations, ChatGPT-4's performance was tested against oral board sample sessions of the American Board of Anesthesiology. Modifications were made to ensure responses were concise and conversationally natural, simulating real patient consultations or oral examinations. The results demonstrate ChatGPT-4's impressive adaptability and potential in oral board examinations as a training and assessment tool in medical education, indicating new avenues for AI application in this field.

Keywords: anesthesiology; artificial intelligence (ai); chatgpt-4; medical education technology; oral board examination.
