About
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether AI-based simulated patient training can improve clinical reasoning and history-taking skills in medical students. The main questions it aims to answer is:
Does GPT-based simulated patient training improve medical students' history-taking skills compared to traditional role-playing methods?
Participants will:
Participants in the intervention group perform medical history-taking conversations with an AI-simulated patient. Receive AI-generated structured feedback on their performance. The control group participated in role-playing exercises with instructors who acted as patients, receiving feedback after each session. Complete standardized assessments to evaluate clinical reasoning and decision-making skills.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:Medical education enrollment:
Students enrolled in a medical or health-related professional program.
Clinical coursework completion:
Students who have completed basic clinical coursework, including foundational topics in patient communication and clinical reasoning.
Age group:
Participants aged 18-30 years to reflect typical medical student demographics.
Language proficiency:
Adequate proficiency in the language used for the study (e.g., English) to effectively interact with the AI-simulated patient and understand feedback.
Willingness and availability:
Students who provide informed consent and are willing to participate in all required study activities, including training sessions and assessments.
Access to technology:
Ability to access and use the necessary technology, such as a computer and internet connection, to complete the simulated patient interactions.
Exclusion Criteria:Non-medical background:
Students not enrolled in medical or related health professions programs. Students in early years of study who have not completed basic clinical coursework.
Technical limitations:
Inability to access or use the required technology (e.g., computer or online platforms).
Time constraints:
Inability to complete all required training and assessments within the study timeline.
Language barriers:
Insufficient proficiency in the language used for the study (e.g., English) to effectively communicate or understand the simulated patient interactions.
Health-related factors:
Conditions that may impair participation, such as significant hearing or vision impairment, or severe psychological conditions.
Prior participation in similar studies:
Students who have already participated in studies involving similar AI-based simulated patient training or feedback.
