q2 · i? · review · r3

Descriptive synthesis of software-based platform RCTs (desktop VR, web-based simulators, AR learning objects); the review reports these interventions "generally improved examination scores, diagnostic accuracy, or decision-making performance compared with conventional teaching methods". No pooled effect size was computed.

"These interventions generally improved examination scores, diagnostic accuracy, or decision-making performance compared with conventional teaching methods [32, 35, 40, 44, 45, 49–52]."

Related Claims¶

• Controlled GenAI virtual-patient and communication studies reported short-term skill gains, but positive findings were not universal — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• In an RCT reviewed by this study, an LLM-based digital patient improved ophthalmology medical history-taking skills relative to control — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Immersive VR-haptic and ITS modalities are more often associated with objective psychomotor and cognitive gains, while generative AI platforms are more often associated with affective outcomes — a broader claim this one bears on
• In an RCT reviewed here, adding AI-generated feedback to a GenAI virtual patient improved medical students' clinical decision-making relative to simulation alone — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Multi-agent AI standardized patient training improved final OSCE-aligned examination scores compared with a structured non-LLM control condition — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Colleges adopted new technology platforms to increase efficiencies, but face challenges sustaining their use after the grant ends — related
• OSCE use in orthodontic education improves diagnostic accuracy, procedural proficiency, and communication skills through simulated patient interactions — related
• Technology augmentation studies, including needle tip tracking, all found significant improvement in skill outcomes — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Digital clinical skills teaching produces higher student satisfaction and engagement across multiple modalities, despite mixed efficacy for skills — related
• Virtual standardized patient training improved alcohol screening and brief intervention skills and diagnostic accuracy for depression and PTSD in two RCTs, while a suicide risk assessment RCT found no significant effect — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
