ChatGPT as a Virtual Patient: Written Empathic Expressions During Medical History Taking
The study yielded preliminary results that ChatGPT might be suitable as a tool mimicking a virtual patient while enabling an empathic history taking. To date, ChatGPT seems valid as a supplement to training with simulated patients. Medical faculty could consider integrating ChatGPT into teaching, such as through a flipped classroom approach, to guide students in its use as ChatGPT continues to gain attention.
