Abstract: Digitization of medical education is an inevitable trend in the development of medical education.By introducing the large language model of medical education,the limitation of traditional medical education can be broken.Students’ learning interest and participation can be improved as well as personalized practice of medical education.Individualized clinical practice teaching and scientific research training can be strengthened,which can improve teaching efficiency and effect.This paper reviews the development of large language model technology and the technical progress of medical large language model.It also lists the application scenarios of large language model in medical education and points out seven challenges of large language model in medical education.It is announced that the future development of medical education large language model is to develop an autonomous and controllable collaborative medical education large language model by using the technology route driven by knowledge and data.

Key words: Large language model, Medical education, Artificial intelligence, Digitization of education, ERNIE bot
