Medical students will soon be able to practise on virtual patients powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to behave like real people. Coventry University says it will create the next generation of the AI-created patients to teach future healthcare workers. New technology means avatars are able to give unique answers to specific questions, rather than simply listing symptoms.
The technology is powered by a large language AI model, which creators hope will assist medical students through greater customisation. Lead researcher and PhD student Juliana Samson, said new technology was speeding up how quickly models could be made and deployed.
“Previously, you would have to create folders and folders of every single question and answer that you might imagine happens in a conversation and link it all together," she explained.
Ms Samson is working with AI firm PCS to create the software that learns as it goes, allowing the creation of more sophisticated avatars for students to practise with and learn from.

This is all about how you are approaching your studies at Highfields:
• Are you taking responsibility for your learning?
• Are you demonstrating resilience in the face of setbacks?
• Are you reflective about your approach to your studies?
1 – Outstanding – you are highly likely to achieve your potential
2 – Good – you are likely to make progress and achieve your potential
3 – Requires Improvement – your approach to learning is not there yet, therefore you are at risk of underachieving
4 – Inadequate – you are likely to underachieve

Your Approach to Learning (ATL) grade is yourresponsibility.
After you have received it, it is over to you to have a learning discussion with your teacher as to how to improve.
“The more you take responsibility for your past and
present, the more you are able to create the future you seek.”
You will get an A4 copy of your profile and an A5 review sheet:
• On your profile, colour in your ATL grade:
• 1 & 2 in green
• 3 in yellow/orange
• 4 in red
Stick this profile in your form time exercise book!
If you have been given an ATL grade of a 3 or 4 you then need to have a learning conversation with your teachers. Remember this is your responsibility.
You are now going to monitor your progress towards achieving the Highfields Community Award.
There is a reminder of the criteria on the next slide.

• School Leadership – Students must be a school ambassador or participate in at least 3 events organised by the ambassadors.
• Classroom success – Attendance 96% or above in 4 terms. Positive rewards score. ATL 2.8 or better. 3 litter picks a year.

This information is all at the bottom of your profile.
Task Three
You can now work out your Rewards – consequences total.
This must be 0 or above to pass the Bronze level and above 50 to achieve Silver.
E.g. Achievement points = 84
Consequence points = 0
84 – 0 = 84
Task Four Copy your average ATL grade from your profile onto your review sheet. This needs to be between 1 and 2.8 to pass the Bronze level (and between 1 and 2.4 for Silver)
Task Five
Fill in the wider curriculum clubs you attend. You need to regularly attend a club for a least 3 terms to achieve Bronze (and 4 for Silver).
Task Six
Fill in the Student leadership section.
Are you a school ambassador? Events will start to be organised for you to get involved in.
Set yourself a target. These needs to be a SMART target e.g. Attend a wider curriculum club, complete 2 litter picks next half term, improve AtL in Maths.
Avoid vague targets such as ‘do better’ and ‘try harder’.
Are you on track to achieve your Bronze level? If not, why not? What do YOU need to change?
