Application of DeepSeek-assisted problem-based learning in hematology residency training.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of integrating the open-source large language model (LLM) DeepSeek into problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum for hematology residency training.

Methods

This non-randomized controlled trial included two groups of 30 s-year hematology residents each. One group received traditional PBL instruction, while the other's PBL was assisted by DeepSeek. Both groups participated in in-person PBL sessions across two identical hematology courses. The DeepSeek-assisted PBL group utilized DeepSeek V3 and R1 models, along with an AI-facilitated web search and integrated output after automatic information filtering and analysis during their in-person PBL sessions. Learning outcomes were assessed via a post-course survey evaluating effect
