Original research, reviews, brief reports and commentary.
Peer review remains the primary quality-control mechanism of scholarly publishing, yet the evidence based on human reviewer performance shows chronically low inter-rater reliability, documented bias, and a labor system straining under rising submission volumes. The emergence of l…
Simulation has become a cornerstone of health professions education, offering safe, repeatable practice that improves knowledge, skills, and, to a degree, patient outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular large language models and generative systems, now promises …
Large language models (LLMs) have advanced rapidly, and the release of GPT-4o introduced a natively multimodal model capable of processing and generating text, audio, and images in near real time. These capabilities make LLMs newly practical for virtual patient simulation, a long…
Simulation is central to modern health professions education, and high-fidelity manikins and human simulation, including standardized patients, have a strong and well-earned evidence base for developing psychomotor skills, teamwork, and clinical judgment. These modalities are res…
