Abstract
Introduction: “In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a central theme in the fields of medical science and health professions education. This letter to the editor examines the role of AI in clinical education, arguing that while AI can enhance certain aspects of the pedagogical process, it cannot replace the essential human elements inherent in traditional clinical training. The rapid evolution of this technology has drawn increasing attention to its potential role in clinical education. This shift raises a fundamental question: Can AI eventually serve as a complete substitute for traditional clinical education?”
