AI tutors take on physical therapy training
NCT ID NCT06809634
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether using a large language model AI (like ChatGPT) can improve the clinical reasoning skills of physical therapy students. Researchers will compare students who practice with the AI on realistic patient cases to those who follow the standard curriculum. The goal is to see if AI can better prepare students for real-world diagnosis and treatment decisions.
