I don’t know if anyone has explored GPTs; I’ve created some, but also like exploring what is out there. You do have to have a ChatGPT account – FREE will work to explore and access the GPTs; need a paid version though to create. Found this one recently and played around with it; looks like it was developed by someone who speaks French, but the App is all English. Thought it did a good job in interacting – used a mic to do my input – only thing because the output is audio – it also provides what the patient might be doing – i.e. sighs; https://chatgpt.com/g/g-lrK9Xpqq7-communication-in-healthcare-patient-simulation. What is in the descriptor: Simulation for clinical communication training, providing feedback post-simulation. Audio mode enhances experience. Do not use for clinical diagnosis or treatment.

@Carrie When I tried it, it provided additional prompt questions to consider (what do you think went well…what opportunities to improve…sound familiar…debriefing type framework built into the App’s output), but then at the end it gave me an opportunity to see how I did in specific areas in terms of feedback. I can see how this might offer a stress-free environment for learners to practice at home their soft skills.

@Elizabeth This sounds great. Have you noticed any biases in the responses?

@Carrie Have not noticed any biases yet, but it feeds off of what you are saying; this is the only way I’ve tried this App, although it appears others have explored different prompts to elicit more specific output.

I played around with it for writing cases and it did pretty good. Just give it what you are looking for (like 4 year old with liver failure) and it will give you a case based on that. I love AI. The new Gaumards use AI to respond to questions. It only gets more awesome from here!

@Carrie I explored more the question on bias. I went back to the App and asked specific information on this. In creating GPT Apps, I found that the creator can help guide the output, so wanted to see how the creator for this one addressed potential biases in output. This is the response provided: Here’s how this simulation app helps minimize bias in communication output during training:
🧠 1. Standardized Patient Interaction
• As a simulated patient, I behave consistently across different users. This standardization ensures all learners face the same communication challenges, avoiding variations that might introduce bias (like patient gender, race, or socioeconomic status unless intentionally included for training purposes).
🎯 2. Focus on Communication Frameworks
• The simulation is designed around evidence-based communication frameworks (e.g., Calgary-Cambridge, SPIKES, etc.) that guide healthcare professionals toward empathetic, patient-centered communication, regardless of the patient’s background.
🔄 3. Real-Time Role Adaptation
• I can simulate diverse patient identities (language barriers, cultural differences, emotional states), allowing learners to practice and reflect on how their communication changes (or shouldn’t) with different patient profiles.
📊 4. Structured Feedback
• After each simulation, you’ll be prompted to self-reflect, and if you agree, I’ll provide structured, objective feedback based on criteria like empathy, clarity, active listening, and shared decision-making—this helps detect unconscious bias and areas for growth.
🔐 5. Bias-Aware Scenarios
• Over time, scenarios can include bias-awareness challenges (e.g., assumptions about compliance, pain tolerance, or understanding) so learners can actively identify and correct their biases in a safe space.
