Description
Jiang, Ye, Kwok, and Wong wrote a review in twenty twenty-six on AI-made virtual patients in health care education. Generative AI lets virtual patients react and adapt in dialogue. That dynamism is reshaping how clinical skills are taught. The team search five databases from their start to March twenty twenty-six. They keep fifteen studies with over six hundred participants in total. Fields span nursing, medicine, pharmacy, and responder training. Most studies use one famed model family for the patient.
Controlled tests show gains over standard teaching in several skills. History taking and decision making improve in trial settings. Most studies run brief, single-session interventions, though. Few rest on stated educational theory. The authors call for longer, theory-backed evaluations.
