RESUMO
SUMMARY: The integration of artificial intelligence in veterinary medical education has the potential to revolutionize the way students learn veterinary anatomy. ChatGPT, launched by OpenAI in November 2022, has been the fastest-growing artificial intelligence (AI) application as a learning tool in the past few months. ChatGPT is a virtual assistant that provides students with detailed and relevant anatomical knowledge based on internet sources. Apart from the advantages of ChatGPT in veterinary anatomy education, the challenges and limitations must also be considered, as highlighted in this letter. Further research and evaluation are necessary to ensure the optimal integration of the ChatGPT tool into veterinary anatomy education. ChatGPT can provide students with valuable insights and educational support but cannot replace hands-on experiences; dissection-based laboratory sessions remain essential for developing practical skills and spatial understanding in veterinary anatomy education.
La integración de la inteligencia artificial en la educación médica veterinaria tiene el potencial de revolucionar la forma en que los estudiantes aprenden anatomía veterinaria. ChatGPT, lanzado por OpenAI en noviembre de 2022, ha sido la aplicación de inteligencia artificial (IA) de más rápido crecimiento como herramienta de aprendizaje en los últimos meses. ChatGPT es un asistente virtual que brinda a los estudiantes conocimientos anatómicos detallados y relevantes basados en fuentes de Internet. Además de las ventajas de ChatGPT en la educación en anatomía veterinaria, también se deben considerar los desafíos y las limitaciones, como se destaca en esta carta. Se necesitan más investigaciones y evaluaciones para garantizar la integración óptima de la herramienta ChatGPT en la educación en anatomía veterinaria. ChatGPT puede proporcionar a los estudiantes información valiosa y apoyo educativo, pero no puede reemplazar las experiencias prácticas. Las sesiones de laboratorio basadas en disecciones siguen siendo esenciales para desarrollar habilidades prácticas y comprensión espacial en la educación de la anatomía veterinaria.

Introduction: Competition for admission to medical collegein India is intense as the number of applicants for nationaleligibility cum entrance test (NEET) always exceeds theavailable seats. The choice of a career in the medical fieldis a complex personal decision influenced by a multitude offactors. Current study was done with the objectives to studysocio-demographic profile of newly selected medical students,to assess reasons of choosing medical stream as a career andto determine the association of socio-demographic and otherfactors with number of attempts taken by the medical studentsfor selection.Material and methods: This was a cross–sectional studycarried out among 96 newly entered medical students ofMaharaja Agrasen Medical College, Agroha (Dist. Hisar),Haryana. Appropriate statistical tests like chi-square (χ2)test and Fisher’s exact test were applied and mean, mode,percentages were also measured.Result: Out of total 39 students (40.6%) belonged to familywhere one or more member was in medical profession.However 86 students (89.6%) choose the medical professionby their own choice. Most of students (72.9%) were attendingregular classes during 11th & 12th in their schools. Maximumnumber of students (46.9%) cleared the NEET in their 2ndattempt. Maximum selection was in students who spent 9-12hours for study for preparation. Out of total 60.4% studentsspent 5-7 hours for sleep during preparation period. Out oftotal 91.7% students were joined coaching for preparationpurpose. Majority of students (67.7%) migrated from theirnative place for study purpose.Conclusion: In our study maximum students have chosenmedical profession because of their personal interest. Inpresent study maximum newly entered medical students werethose who have attended schools regularly in 11th and 12thclasses. Adequate sleep hours for students play constructiverole in favorable outcome.
