Using Generative AI to Enhance Clinical Prioritization and Cultural Competence of Students in Community Health Practice

To prepare health discipline students for effective interdisciplinary learning in a global learning environment, a novel pedagogical innovation is proposed in this project - using an interactive 'Escape Room' that encompasses situational and cultural awareness to enhance the delivery of appropriate prioritized care for community people in home setting. 'Escape room' is a game-based learning that shows evidence in motivating and engaging students in the learning process. This project aims to connect health discipline students from local and overseas countries to go through adventure-based escape rooms embedded with home setting scenarios. The online rooms will be designed by the interdisciplinary teachers of involved institutions collaboratively, based on the concept of situational awareness that includes perception of the elements in the environment, comprehension of the situation, and projection of future status. To achieve the overall goal of developing prioritization skills and cultural competence skills of participating students, they will be empowered in mastering generative AI (ChatGPT) to acquire answers that pertain to specific scenarios, in which they need to analyze if the answers generated from AI are valid, helping them in prioritizing the solutions and resolving the situation correctly. It is expected that interdisciplinary and intercultural learning among health discipline students from different regions will be enhanced, and therefore the development of their global citizenship through collaborative effort.
