AI patients, real practice: exploring the use of AI-simulated patients to support primary healthcare training for combat medical technicians

Introduction Combat Medical Technicians (CMTs) are central to military primary care but have limited opportunity for clinical exposure. Simulated patients offer a controlled method to maintain clinical currency. Advances in conversational artificial intelligence (AI) enable realistic and interactive simulated consultations. We present our evaluation of the feasibility, acceptability and educational impact of AI-simulated patients for CMT training. Methods Five military primary care simulated patients were develo…

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0845 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
