Generative AI in health sciences education and practice. Part 1: chatbots and simulation
Abstract
This article is the first in a series examining the way in which generative artificial intelligence is changing practice and training in the health and medical sciences. Here, we look at the increasing role of generative AI in simulation, and the use of chatbotdriven role-play activities to build and maintain communication skills. It explores potential and current practice, as well as some of the risks and ethical issues, and provides practical guidance for upskilling.
