ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI)-based conversational large language model (LLM). The potential applications of LLMs in health care education, research, and practice could be promising if the associated valid concerns are proactively examined and addressed. The current systematic review aimed to investigate the utility of ChatGPT in health care education, research, and practice and to highlight its potential limitations. Using the PRIMSA guidelines, a systematic search was conducted to retrieve English records in PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar (published research or preprints) that examined ChatGPT in the context of health care education, research, or practice. A total of 60 records were eligible for inclusion. Benefits of ChatGPT were cited in 51/60 (85.0%) records and included: (1) improved scientific writing and enhancing research equity and versatility; (2) utility in health care research (efficient analysis of datasets, code generation, literature reviews, saving time to focus on experimental design, and drug discovery and development); (3) benefits in health care practice (streamlining the workflow, cost saving, documentation, personalized medicine, and improved health literacy); and (4) benefits in health care education including improved personalized learning and the focus on critical thinking and problem-based learning. Concerns regarding ChatGPT use were stated in 58/60 (96.7%) records including ethical, copyright, transparency, and legal issues, the risk of bias, plagiarism, lack of originality, inaccurate content with risk of hallucination, limited knowledge, incorrect citations, cybersecurity issues, and risk of infodemics. The promising applications of ChatGPT can induce paradigm shifts in health care education, research, and practice. However, the embrace of this AI chatbot should be conducted with extreme caution considering its potential limitations. As it currently stands, ChatGPT does not qualify to be listed as an author in scientific articles unless the ICMJE/COPE guidelines are revised or amended. An initiative involving all stakeholders in health care education, research, and practice is urgently needed. This will help to set a code of ethics to guide the responsible use of ChatGPT among other LLMs in health care and academia.

“…Notably, it cannot generate real-time, up-to-date information due to its training being rooted in data available until 2021. 15, 29 Although ChatGPT can generate references or citations for the details it provides, a study indicated that the generated reference list covers only the most recent ten years. Additionally, when regenerated, the reference list remains the same, albeit with differing years.…”

Background In the era of advanced Open artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the large language model tool known as chat generative pre-training transformer (ChatGPT) is gaining an increasing number of users in various fields such as healthcare, medical education, agriculture, and customer support due to its features like information retrieval, generating human-like conversations, and natural language processing. Purpose The purpose of this narrative review is to present the perspectives of ChatGPT in pharmacology and medical education. And highlight the limitations of ChatGPT in these areas and draw the attention of policymakers in healthcare to implement such technologies while taking into consideration ethical issues. Methods To collect information regarding the perspectives of ChatGPT in pharmacology and medical education. And highlight the limitations of ChatGPT in these areas. Results In health care, it helps in the drug discovery and development process, diagnosis, treatment, counseling, assisting in surgical procedures, pharmacovigilance, pharmacy, and so on. In medical education, this tool plays a crucial role in online tutoring, personalized assistance, grading, improvement in grammar, and so on. Despite the limitations, ChatGPT is helpful in healthcare, medical education, and scientific writing. To overcome such limitations of ChatGPT, like ethical issues, emotionlessness, providing information before 2021, the risk of biases, uncontrollability, lack of transparency, academic dishonesty, and so on, alternatives have been developed, but they also fail to entirely resolve the associated limitations. Conclusion Looking at the current scenarios, there is an urgent need for comprehensive guidelines to address these limitations and provide a framework for appropriately utilizing AI tools in healthcare domains. This framework should also focus on maintaining a balance between human involvement and technological advancements.
