The Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Physician Assistant Education
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various areas, including health care and education. This article explores the role of AI in physician assistant (PA) education, examining its current uses, potential benefits, and ethical considerations. Artificial intelligence, particularly through tools like ChatGPT and other large language models, offers significant promise in PA education. These models can understand, summarize, translate, predict, and generate text, providing clear and simple responses to complex questions. The potential for AI to enhance PA education is immeasurable, ranging from administrative assistance to clinical decision support and personalized learning experiences.
