Self-directed use of general-purpose AI tools for history taking practice, among clinical-phase medical students: Cross-Sectional Survey
ABSTRACT
A cross-sectional survey of 25 Year 3 medical students at a UK medical school showed that most students had experimented with general-purpose artificial intelligence for OSCE history-taking practice, but few used it regularly, and students ranked it last among other revision resources, citing poor realism and unreliable feedback.
