Pilot trial shows combined chatbot and role-play improves clinical reasoning and communication skills in training.
In this pilot study, AI chatbot-based training and PRP demonstrated complementary strengths for OSCE preparation. While PRP appears effective for developing performance-based procedural and communication skills in a realistic setting, AI chatbots show potential for fostering clinical reasoning in a self-paced, reflective learning environment. These complementary strengths suggest a blended learning model, combining both methods, may be optimal for holistic clinical skills development. Further research is needed to validate these preliminary findings.
