Thus, programs often lack the practical infrastructure needed to integrate the CoPJ into curricula at the scale necessary for repeated learner practice. Large language models (LLMs) may help address this burden, but a transferable process to generate CoPJ items aligned with local ethics frameworks and expert oversight is needed.</p><p><strong>Approach: </strong>This study implemented and evaluated a transferable process for generating CoPJ items using general purpose LLMs. Using a generic zero-shot prompt, ChatGPT-5 Thinking and Gemini 2.5 Pro were each prompted to generate one CoPJ item for all 28 topics in the Turkish Medical Association's ethical declarations (56 items total) in August 2025.</p><p><strong>Outcomes: </strong>Between August and September 2025, 2 faculty reviewers independently rated each LLM-generated item using a 20-criterion checklist and 4-level global suitability judgment (accepted, minor revision, major revision, rejected), with adjudication as needed. Gemini 2.5 Pro achieved 96.4% overall global suitability, with 27/28 items judged to be suitable (accepted or minor revision). ChatGPT-5 Thinking's overall global suitability was 89.3% (25/28).

The pooled R2 value between EE and depression scores for physicians and trainees was 0.42 (P < .001) and between DP and depression scores was 0.28 (P < .001). Among the 4,087 practicing physicians with normal depression scores, 1,201 (29.4%) had high EE and/or high DP. Among the 1,601 trainees with normal depression scores, 485 (30.3%) had high EE and/or high DP. On multivariable logistic regression adjusting for age, gender, relationship status, and work hours, each 1-point increase in depression T-score was associated with 15% higher odds of suicidal ideation among practicing physicians (OR 1.15; 95% CI: 1.13-1.17; P < .001) and trainees (OR 1.15, 95% CI: 1.13-1.17; P < .001).

Less than half the variation in burnout is explained by depression (and vice versa). Population health approaches to improve physician well-being should address both conditions.
