Catering for the Needs of Diverse Patient Populations: Using ChatGPT to Design Case-Based Learning Scenarios

Med Sci Educ. 2024 Jan 13;34(2):319-325. doi: 10.1007/s40670-024-01975-4. eCollection 2024 Apr.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) represents an opportunity for medical education to enhance efficiency, interactivity, and realism in learning scenarios. This project uses it to identify angles we have not considered before, particularly in creating culturally sensitive educational cases that represent the needs of a diverse patient population. The implementation showed encouraging results, as the ChatGPT algorithm was successful in writing cases that are more culturally sensitive; however, iteration for refinement was needed. An evolution of these prompts and resulting cases are presented. AI-generated material is only as good as the prompts we use, and how we define the task depends on digital literacy and pedagogical intent.
