Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly gaining traction as virtual standardized patients (VSPs), enabling medical students and clinicians to practice communication, history-taking, and diagnostic reasoning in an interactive and scalable format. Studies show that learners who use LLMs report enhanced confidence, empathy, and clinical decision-making skills. Its adaptability allows educators to design diverse patient scenarios and provide immediate, personalized feedback. The use of AI tools supports flexible, repetitive practice and self-directed learning, complementing traditional educational methods. As AI continues to advance, LLMs are set to play a pivotal role in making high-quality clinical training more accessible, compassionate, and safe.
