Notably, the platform supports text & voice, it is multilingual, & it is freely accessible - advancing equity across globally diverse & resource-limited institutions. This positions #AI patient actors as complements, not replacements, to human standardized patients.

Learners receive immediate, rubric-based formative feedback from the AI, supporting deliberate practice in:
• clinical interviewing
• diagnostic reasoning
• communication skills
This aligns with evidence linking feedback in sim to clinical performance: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Key design insight: The LLM does *NOT* generate medical facts. Rather, human-authored cases constrain the AI’s responses - reducing hallucinations & preserving educator control over content, a critical principle for responsible AI adoption in #MedEd, addressing known risks of LLMs.

Modules such as @scholarrx.bsky.social Bricks enhanced outcomes across groups, likely due to:
- concise organization
- interactive visuals
- cognitive load reduction
Prior work shows AV/multimodal tools improve memory & engagement (Pujol et al, Brain Behav 2021; doi:10.1002/brb3.1427).

The jigsaw strategy (learn in expert group → teach peers in home group) promoted:
✔️engagement
✔️communication
✔️self-directed learning
✔️accountability
Findings align with prior evidence that collaborative learning improves retention and performance (Oakes et al, Sagsoz et al)

Why this matters 🤔 -> diet quality drives risk for heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer & more diseases - yet most physicians report insufficient nutrition training. Aligning education with practice can improve patient care & population health.

Consensus priorities include:
• Evidence-based, culturally sensitive nutrition guidance
• Screening for food & nutrition insecurity
• Collaborative multidisciplinary nutrition care
• Nutrition assessment via diet history and lab data
(100% expert agreement on many)

Educational takeaway: If learners rely on AI tools, we must explicitly teach reasoning evaluation, not just answer validation.
This study strengthens the case for:
• Teaching metacognition
• Assessing reasoning processes
• Designing AI-aware curricula
