About this trial

This study aims to assess whether ChatGPT-4 can support surgical trainees in clinical decision-making. By comparing the performance of ChatGPT-4 with junior residents, senior residents, and attending surgeons on standardized clinical scenarios, the study seeks to understand the potential role of large language models in surgical education. The ultimate goal is to evaluate whether ChatGPT-4 can be safely integrated as a supplementary educational tool to aid junior residents in developing critical thinking and surgical judgment.
