Summary

LLMs may support clinicians with diagnostic reasoning but can generate inaccurate information, prompting the need for AI-literacy training. This real-world Pakistani study shows that AI-trained physicians using LLMs enhanced their diagnostic skills without slowing reviews, indicating LLMs may help close diagnostic gaps in resource-limited areas.
