Findings demonstrated an improvement over earlier models as well as consistent performance in topics ranging from complex biological processes to ethical considerations in patient care. Its proficiency provides support for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as an interactive learning tool and furthermore raises questions about how the technology can be used to educate students in the preclinical component of their medical education. The authors provide an example and discuss how students can leverage AI to receive real-time analogies and explanations tailored to their desired level of education.

Additional criteria used for defining LCs vary across the literature and have focused on high school and undergraduate programs. Similar benefits may also be experienced in professional programs; however, before further studies can investigate and describe these benefits, the structure for LCs in the veterinary curriculum must first be defined. To accomplish this, a survey instrument was developed and distributed to veterinary students attending Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine during the 2019 to 2020 academic year. The survey focused on a number of criteria and included both qualitative and quantitative questions. Criteria included demographics, prior experiences, and structure of an ideal LC. Recurring themes in the qualitative responses were identified, reviewed, and categorized based on an established coding theme. Significant correlations included an association between respondents' opinions on the ideal number of people in a LC and prior participation in LCs; age and preference for LC focus; ideal number of LC members and LC focus; and gender identity and thoughts on LC diversity. Based on the survey results, the typical veterinary student would consider an ideal LC to (1) be selected by the students of the LC, (2) have faculty mentors, (3) have a focus on coursework with some social aspects, (4) have fewer than seven members, (5) be composed of friends, (6) meet both during and after class, and (7) be diverse.</p>","PeriodicalId":37113,"journal":{"name":"Medical Science Educator","volume":"34 1","pages":"153-160"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10948673/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140176898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
