Unlabelled: This viewpoint article explores the transformative role of large language models (LLMs) in the field of medical education, highlighting their potential to enhance teaching quality, promote personalized learning paths, strengthen clinical skills training, optimize teaching assessment processes, boost the efficiency of medical research, and support continuing medical education. However, the use of LLMs entails certain challenges, such as questions regarding the accuracy of information, the risk of overreliance on technology, a lack of emotional recognition capabilities, and concerns related to ethics, privacy, and data security. This article emphasizes that to maximize the potential of LLMs and overcome these challenges, educators must exhibit leadership in medical education, adjust their teaching strategies flexibly, cultivate students' critical thinking, and emphasize the importance of practical experience, thus ensuring that students can use LLMs correctly and effectively. By adopting such a comprehensive and balanced approach, educators can train health care professionals who are proficient in the use of advanced technologies and who exhibit solid professional ethics and practical skills, thus laying a strong foundation for these professionals to overcome future challenges in the health care sector.
