    AI-driven virtual standardized patients (AI-VSPs) were integrated into anesthesiology education to enhance crisis management training.

  • 2

    The study involved 60 anesthesiology master's students, divided into three groups for different instructional methods.

  • 3

    Group C, which included AI-VSP training, showed significantly higher performance in simulated clinical tasks compared to groups A and B.

  • 4

    Teaching satisfaction was measured but not considered an indicator of effectiveness in this pilot study.

  • 5

    The results suggest potential advantages of AI-VSPs in crisis resource management, but further research is needed for comprehensive evaluation.
