Artificial intelligence-tutoring problem-based learning in ophthalmology clerkship.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an increasingly popular tool in medical investigations. However, AI's potential of aiding medical teaching has not been explored. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of AI-tutoring problem-based-learning (PBL) in ophthalmology clerkship and to assess the student evaluations of this module.

Methods

Thirty-eight Grade-two students in ophthalmology clerkship at Sun Yat-Sen University were randomly assigned to two groups. In Group A, students learned congenital cataracts through an AI-tutoring PBL module by exploring and operating an AI diagnosis platform. In Group B, students learned congenital cataracts through traditional lecture given with the same faculty. The improvement in student performance was evaluated by comparing
