The application, challenges, and prospects of large language models in pediatric clinical medical education
Pediatric clinical medical education is central to cultivating high-quality pediatric professionals. However
it faces significant challenges
including insufficient teaching scenarios
breakdowns in the diagnostic chain due to the inability of infants and toddlers to describe symptoms
ethical constraints on invasive procedure training
and difficulties in simulating doctor–patient communication. This article explores the application value of large language models in addressing these issues. By integrating multimodal data to construct dynamic case libraries
innovating procedural training through virtual simulation systems
and designing contextual platforms to enhance doctor-patient communication
we developed disease knowledge bases
intelligent agents
and realistic clinical scenario simulations. These advances provide innovative solutions for pediatric clinical education. This paper systematically examined the application scenarios
core challenges
and future optimization directions for large language models in this field
and proposed a "data
ethics
technology" trinity development framework. This study provides both a theoretical and a practical reference for technology implementation and educational model innovation.
