Duration: Typically 3-7 years for residency training, with additional time for fellowships if they wish to specialize further. Content: Focuses on advanced clinical training in a specific medical field (e.g., surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics). GME includes residency training, where doctors gain hands-on experience in patient care, as well as fellowship opportunities for subspecialties (e.g., cardiology, neurology). Goal: To prepare medical graduates to become specialists or subspecialists and practice medicine independently in their chosen field. Outcome: Physicians become board-certified specialists or subspecialists, fully licensed to practice independently in their field. ---- Graduate Medical Education (GME) refers to any type of formal [[medical education]], usually, hospital-sponsored or hospital-based training, pursued after receipt of the M.D. or D.O. degree in the United States This education includes an internship, [[residency]], subspecialty and fellowship programs, and leads to state licensure and board certification. ---- [[Artificial intelligence]] (AI) and generative [[language]] models (GLMs) present significant opportunities for enhancing medical [[education]], including the provision of realistic [[simulation]]s, digital patients, personalized feedback, [[evaluation]] methods, and the elimination of language barriers. These advanced technologies can facilitate immersive learning [[environment]]s and enhance [[medical student]]s' educational outcomes. However, ensuring content [[quality]], addressing [[bias]]es, and managing ethical and legal concerns present obstacles. To mitigate these challenges, it is necessary to evaluate the accuracy and relevance of AI-generated content, address potential biases, and develop [[guideline]]s and policies governing the use of AI-generated content in medical education. Collaboration among educators, researchers, and practitioners is essential for developing best practices, guidelines, and transparent AI models that encourage the ethical and responsible use of GLMs and AI in medical education. By sharing information about the [[data]] used for [[training]], obstacles encountered, and [[evaluation]] methods, developers can increase their credibility and trustworthiness within the medical community. In order to realize the full potential of AI and GLMs in medical education while mitigating potential risks and obstacles, ongoing research and interdisciplinary collaboration are necessary. By collaborating, medical professionals can ensure that these technologies are effectively and responsibly integrated, contributing to enhanced learning experiences and patient care ((Karabacak M, Ozkara BB, Margetis K, Wintermark M, Bisdas S.
