Abstract

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, digital humans based on language models, such as GPT, have been widely applied in medical education. Digital human GPTs not only assist in learning medical knowledge and training clinical skills but also provide students with real clinical experiences through virtual patient simulations. Despite technical and ethical challenges, the personalized teaching and interactivity of digital human GPTs undoubtedly bring innovative changes to medical education. This article reviews the current literature to explore the application status, technological advancements, research findings, and challenges faced by digital human GPTs in the field of medical education, and looks forward to the future development directions of digital human GPTs in medical education.
