Medical Student Perspectives on the Recommended Considerations for Interacting With ChatGPT as Part of Learning and Working With Patients

ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI, has prompted significant interest in medical education. Its ability to generate fast, context-specific responses can improve efficiency in learning, but concerns about over-reliance, misinformation, and privacy risks remain. While educators have begun examining the impact of ChatGPT, there has been less exploration of the learner perspective. This piece reflects on the authors’ experiences as medical students and proposes a Code of Practice to guide the responsible use of ChatGPT in both education and patient-facing contexts. With clear guidelines, AI tools like ChatGPT could be safely integrated into the medical curriculum and clinical training.
