Abstract
Healthcare educators (HPE) are challenged by rapid developments in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools. They need a standardized model to evaluate these new tools and to guide them in pedagogically-sound integration in the curriculum. PICRAT is an educational model designed specifically to help teachers meet this challenge. NotebookLM is a new multi-featured GenAI tool to help teachers and learners in education and research. Its newest feature allows automatic generation of an engaging podcast (called audio overview) from uploaded education or research content. Using the example of NotebookLM and, specifically, the auto-podcast feature, we illustrate how HPE can use the PICRAT model to evaluate GenAI tools for technology integration. We discuss how this model can be utilized as a standardized approach for evaluation and implementation of GenAI tools in health professions education.
期刊介绍:
Medical Teacher provides accounts of new teaching methods, guidance on structuring courses and assessing achievement, and serves as a forum for communication between medical teachers and those involved in general education. In particular, the journal recognizes the problems teachers have in keeping up-to-date with the developments in educational methods that lead to more effective teaching and learning at a time when the content of the curriculum—from medical procedures to policy changes in health care provision—is also changing. The journal features reports of innovation and research in medical education, case studies, survey articles, practical guidelines, reviews of current literature and book reviews. All articles are peer reviewed.
