Summary

This study tests whether a single session with an AI chatbot can improve communication skills in dietetic students. Junior and senior nutrition students will receive either AI-based virtual patient training or no training, then take a practical exam. The goal is to see if AI can help prepare future dietitians for real patient interactions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AI-based chatbot delivering a single-session nutrition education program
What this could lead to
If effective, AI chatbots could become a low-cost, scalable tool for training dietetic students in communication and patient interaction.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with a one-time intervention, so results may not generalize. The chatbot's impact on real-world clinical skills remains uncertain.
