Abstract
This article elucidates that generative AI virtual cases offer advantages such as abundant resources, strong interactivity, and timely feedback. By implementing application approaches—including establishing virtual case repositories, conducting scenario simulations, developing evaluation systems, and training instructors—it can effectively enhance the clinical reasoning abilities of general practice residency trainees, thereby providing a novel model and methodology for general practice education.
