Abstract:
Plastic surgery is characterized by high degree of specialization, a broadscope of diseases inclusion and rapid advancements in knowledge. It is closely related to many disciplines, and there is great heterogeneity among different patients, which requires comprehensive abilities of doctors. However, plastic surgery teaching in China is currently marked by a short training cycle, a uniform training mode, and students’ time constraints and heavy tasks. Chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT), a large-scale language model introduced by the artificial intelligence company OpenAI, can use deep learning technology to generate natural language texts, understand the context of a conversation and then generate responses similar to those of humans, and is widely used in various industries, including the medical field. This review began by identifying the current challenges in plastic surgery teaching, introduced potential applications of ChatGPT in the field, and outlined its advantages. It also discussed the limitations and potential future directions for its development.
