Setting:

The project is currently in its initial planning phase, with the intended focus of the pilot initiative being on the family medicine residents at İzmir City Hospital.

Target group:

Adolescent health is a critical area requiring specific knowledge and skills in primary care services. Family medicine residents have limited experience with patient interviews related to adolescent health. This project aims to enhance family medicine residents' knowledge and skills in adolescent health through an innovative training program incorporating ChatGPT-supported simulated patient interviews. This approach seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, thereby improving patient-doctor interactions and communication skills.

Description of the innovative practice or project:

The training program is designed for 30 family medicine residents and will span two days. On the first day, theoretical training will be provided on the importance of adolescent health, patient interview techniques, and the health needs of adolescents. The training will be reinforced with interactive methods and online quizzes. On the second day, residents will participate in ChatGPT-supported simulated patient interviews. These interviews will be based on predefined case scenarios and will be assessed in real-time by instructors. Each interview will last 10-15 minutes, followed by a group discussion. Afterward, the interviews will be assessed using the HEEADSS-S model in collaboration with ChatGPT, and the group will discuss each interview in detail.
