Virtual Patient Simulations Using Social Robotics Combined With Large Language Models for Clinical Reasoning Training in Medical Education: Mixed Methods Study

Abstract

A social robotic platform enhanced by an LLM may provide an authentic and engaging learning experience for medical students in the context of VP simulations for training CR. Beyond its limitations, several aspects of potential improvement were identified for the social robotic platform, lending promise for this technology as a means toward the attainment of learning outcomes within medical education curricula.
