Abstract
ChatGPT has initiated a new era of inquiry into sources of information within the scientific community. Studies leveraging ChatGPT in the medical field have demonstrated notable performance in academic processes and healthcare applications. This research presents how medical students have benefited from ChatGPT during their educational journey and the challenges they encountered, as reported through their personal experiences. The methodological framework of this study adheres to the stages of qualitative research. An explanatory case study, a qualitative research method, was adopted to determine user experiences with ChatGPT. Content analysis based on student experiences with ChatGPT indicates that it may offer advantages in health education as a resource for scientific research activities. However, adverse reports were also identified, including ethical issues, lack of personal data protection, and potential misuse in scientific research. This study emphasizes the need for comprehensive steps in effectively integrating AI tools like ChatGPT into medical education as a new technology.
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.
