About this study

This study involves a two groups:

Intervention Group: Medical students will receive AI-generated questions and feedback related to five abdominal pain diagnoses.
Control Group: Medical students will not receive any intervention. Participants in the intervention group will undergo structured learning sessions consisted of AI-generated questions and feedback as a spaced repetition. Control group will not attend these sessions; they only receive their usual medical training.

The diagnostic reasoning performance will be assessed using a video-based Objective Structured Clinical Examination: OSVE (Objective Structured Video Examination) where videos of "patient-doctor encounters are shown to students and questions related to the video clip are asked. Written answers are marked in a standardised manner."

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes
