“…Third, recent studies showed the potential benefits of integrating Chatbots, such as ChatGPT, in pharmacy education [ 49 ]. One of the main advantages of using ChatGPT in pharmacy education is the ability to provide easier explanations of complex subjects and medical jargon to aid the students to understand complex pharmaceutical and medical concepts [ 50 , 51 ]. Moreover, ChatGPT among other AI-based educational tools can offer interactive platforms that may enhance the development of essential skills for patient counseling, such as facial expression and emotional communication [ 52 ].…”

Since its public release in November 2022, ChatGPT has gained a widespread attention and received mixed responses in the academia. Promising applications of ChatGPT in university education has been suggested; however, several concerns were raised. The aim of this descriptive study was to investigate the pros and cons of ChatGPT use in medical, dental, pharmacy, and public health education. Based on expert panel discussion and review of the existing literature, specific and concise ChatGPT prompts were constructed and the responses were generated on 25 February 2023. Out data suggested that in medical education, ChatGPT benefits included the possibility of improving personalized learning, clinical reasoning and understanding of complex medical concepts. The benefits listed in the context of dental education included improved skills through step-by-step instructions and interactive content, with instant feedback on student techniques. In pharmacy education, the advantages included possible explanations of complex subjects and the deployment of interactive tools aiding to develop skills for patient counselling. In public health education, the listed benefits included providing explanations and case scenarios, besides improved skills in data analysis and literature review. The limitations listed based on ChatGPT-generated content were common across all of the investigated healthcare disciplines and included data privacy issues, risk of generating biased and inaccurate content, and the risk of deterioration of critical thinking and communication skills among healthcare students. The ChatGPT-generated content in the context of healthcare education was deemed partially helpful by the expert panel. However, several important points regarding the pros and cons of ChatGPT use in medical, dental, pharmacy and public health education were missed by ChatGPT-generated content including: the risk of plagiarism, copyright issues, the risk of academic dishonesty, and the lack of personal and emotional interactions necessary for developing proper communication skills in healthcare education. In conclusion, despite the promising prospects of ChatGPT in healthcare education, several drawbacks should be addressed with implementation of guidelines for proper use to ensure exploiting the benefits of this innovative technology.

“…A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two new learning models in helping healthcare students learn medical technology. The first used a chatbot-based learning model called Termbot, designed to help students learn in a gamified way (Hsu et al, 2023). Termbot is an online chatbot, accessible through the LINE platform, that provides students with a fun and convenient way to enhance their medical terminology with crossword puzzles.…”

Objective: This study intended to examine whether the utilization of ChatGPT and Termbot enhances students’ understanding of medical terminology. Method: ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is an AI chatbot designed to generate human-like text responses. Termbot is a chatbot-based learning model focused on improving the acquisition of medical terminology through gamified learning methods. A total of 60 participants participated in this exploratory study, with 40 nursing students assigned to the experimental group and 20 nursing students assigned to the control group. In the experimental group, participants were further divided into two groups of 20, one of which was trained with ChatGPT and the other with Termbot. The participants in the experimental group engaged with the assigned tools for a minimum of 2 hours per week following classroom instruction. The control group used a traditional textbook as their primary learning resource. The study lasted 2 months, after which participants’ learning outcomes were evaluated using an online medical terminology exam post-test. Results: The study found that participants in the experimental group had significantly improved learning outcomes compared to participants in the control group. The results showed a substantial increase in post-test scores for both ChatGPT and Termbot groups, indicating that using these tools as learning assistants can assist students in the learning process. Conclusion: The study has important implications for educators and educational institutions, as it provides evidence for the potential benefits of using ChatGPT and Termbot as tools to improve students’ learning outcomes. The findings intensifyt the importance of embracing new technologies in education and using them to supplement traditional teaching methods.
