Scaling Multimodal Agentic AI in Medical Education: Multisite Cross-Sectional Study of Simulation Effectiveness in Primary Care Background: Conversational artificial intelligence (#AI) (AI) systems offer potential solutions to traditional constraints in medical consultation skills training, including high costs, scheduling difficulties, and varied standardization. There is limited evidence evaluating medical professionals’ perceptions of AI-generated patient interactions across multiple fidelity dimensions and assessing the educational value of conversational AI for consultation skills training. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate perceptions of conversational AI patient simulations in primary care consultation training, examining functional fidelity, conversational realism, educational value, and implementation readiness. Methods: A cross-sectional evaluation study at a UK medical school (medical students and general practitioners) yielded 47 grouped and individual responses. Participants completed standardized clinical scenarios using the SimFlow conversational AI system, a conversational AI system, followed by a multidomain questionnaire evaluating AI realism, medical content, educational value, feedback, and #usability. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test, Spearman correlation, and Firth logistic regression to assess domain performance and participant characteristics. Results: Medical content received the highest ratings (median 4.5, IQR 4.0-5.0), with 97.8% (45/46) rating clinical plausibility highly. Educational value was rated positively (median 4.0, IQR 3.0-4.0), although AI realism received moderate scores (median 3.0, IQR 2.0-4.0). Participants with prior AI experience gave significantly higher ratings for AI realism than those without prior experience (mean 3.81, SD 0.63 vs 3.07, SD 0.72; P=.03). Concordance analysis demonstrated moderate-to-strong agreement between individual- and group-level domain rankings (mean Spearman ρ=0.685), supporting consistency between collaborative and individual survey evaluations. Qualitative analysis revealed 4 themes: clinical authenticity, interactional limitations, educational potential, and implementation considerations. Conclusions: Conversational AI demonstrates strong capabilities in functional fidelity (clinical accuracy) despite limitations in conversational fidelity (realism). The technology shows promise as a supplementary tool for clinical skills training rather than higher-stakes assessment, with future development needed in dialogue naturalness and feedback capabilities.

Development of a Serious Game to Simulate Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Experiences: Collaborative Quasi-Experimental Study Background: Opportunities for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) training are limited for medical and nursing students due to patient safety concerns and the complexities of neonatal care. In addition, the #covid19 pandemic significantly disrupted clinical training opportunities, further underscoring the need for alternative educational tools that can provide immersive and practical learning experiences. Serious games have garnered attention as potential tools for medical education; however, few are designed to simulate the complete NICU environment and its unique challenges. Objective: To address the educational gaps in neonatal care training, we aimed to develop and evaluate a serious game that provides a comprehensive NICU simulation experience for students and the general public. Methods: The game was developed over 14 months by a collaborative team that included a neonatologist, 4 medical students, and 1 art student, with a total cost of US $10,000. Initially created in TyranoBuilder (STRIKEWORKS), the game was later redeveloped in Unity with Naninovel to support multilingual functionality. Structured as a 6-chapter visual novel, the game follows a high school student observing the NICU during a hospital internship. Scenario-based decision-making and interactive dialogues guide the player through both the clinical and emotional aspects of neonatal care. After completing the game, players were invited to participate in an optional web-based survey that assessed demographic information, gameplay quality, and educational value using Likert scales. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results: The game, titled First Steps in the NICU, was released for iOS, Android, and Steam. As of May 2025, it has been downloaded 2799 times (2260 on iOS and 539 on Android). A total of 160 survey responses were collected, with 46.3% of respondents identifying as health care professionals or students. The majority of participants were female (114/160, 71.3%) and aged 20-29 years (59/160, 36.9%). Mean scores for length, difficulty, and gameplay were 3.05 (SD 0.62), 2.49 (SD 0.76), and 3.65 (SD 0.77), respectively, indicating a well-balanced design. The educational usefulness of the game received high ratings: empathy with the story (4.24), usefulness for knowledge acquisition (4.16), and effectiveness of serious games as a learning tool (4.37). No significant differences in evaluations were found between health care professionals and students and the general public, suggesting broad accessibility and appeal. Conclusions: We developed a low-cost serious game that simulates NICU experiences through collaboration between a neonatologist and students. The game received positive feedback and demonstrated educational value for a diverse audience. Positioned as formative research, this study highlights the potential of serious games to supplement neonatal care education. Future updates will incorporate user feedback, leading to improvements in gameplay and expanded content.

Development of a GPT-4–Powered Virtual Simulated Patient and Communication Training Platform for Medical Students to Practice Discussing Abnormal Mammogram Results With Patients: Multiphase Study Background: Standardized patients (SPs) prepare medical students for difficult conversations with patients. Despite their value, SP-based simulation training is constrained by available resources and competing clinical demands. Researchers are turning to artificial intelligence (#AI) and large language models, such as generative pretrained transformers, to create communication training that incorporates virtual simulated patients (VSPs). GPT-4 is a large language model advance allowing developers to design virtual simulation scenarios using text-based prompts instead of relying on branching path simulations with prescripted dialogue. These nascent developmental practices have not taken root in the literature to guide other researchers in developing their own simulations. Objective: This study aims to describe our developmental process and lessons learned for creating a GPT-4–driven VSP. We designed the VSP to help medical student learners rehearse discussing abnormal mammography results with a patient as a primary care physician (PCP). We aimed to assess GPT-4’s ability to generate appropriate VSP responses to learners during spoken conversations and provide appropriate feedback on learner performance. Methods: A research team comprised of physicians, a medical student, an educator, an SP program director, a learning experience designer, and a health care researcher conducted the study. A formative phase with in-depth knowledge user interviews informed development, followed by a development phase to create the virtual training module. The team conducted interviews with 5 medical students, 5 PCPs, and 5 breast #Cancer survivors. They then developed a VSP using simulation authoring software and provided the GPT-4–enabled VSP with an initial prompt consisting of a scenario description, emotional state, and expectations for learner dialogue. It was iteratively refined through an agile design process involving repeated cycles of testing, documenting issues, and revising the prompt. As an exploratory feature, the simulation used GPT-4 to provide written feedback to learners about their performance communicating with the VSP and their adherence to guidelines for difficult conversations. Results: In-depth interviews helped establish the appropriate timing, mode of communication, and protocol for conversations between PCPs and patients during the breast #Cancer screening process. The scenario simulated a telephone call between a physician and patient to discuss the abnormal results of a diagnostic mammogram that that indicated a need for a biopsy. Preliminary testing was promising. The VSP asked sensible questions about their mammography results and responded to learner inquiries using a voice replete with appropriate emotional inflections. GPT-4 generated performance feedback that successfully identified strengths and areas for improvement using relevant quotes from the learner-VSP conversation, but it occasionally misidentified learner adherence to communication protocols. Conclusions: GPT-4 streamlined development and facilitated more dynamic, humanlike interactions between learners and the VSP compared to branching path simulations. For the next steps, we will pilot-test the VSP with medical students to evaluate its #feasibility and acceptability.
