Abstract

Chatbots powered by artificial intelligence have revolutionized many industries and fields of study, including medical education. Medical educators are increasingly asked to perform more administrative, written, and assessment functions with less time and resources. Safe use of chatbots, like ChatGPT, can help medical educators efficiently perform these functions. In this article, we provide medical educators with tips for the implementation of ChatGPT in medical education. Through creativity and careful construction of prompts, medical educators can use these and other implementations of chatbots, like ChatGPT, in their practice.

Keywords: ChatGPT; artificial intelligence; generative AI; medical education.
