Research Project Description:
Artificial intelligence, specifically large language models (LLM), have shown modest accuracy for answering questions related to medical knowledge. With widespread public availability of these tools, medical students are free to use them in reviewing materials for undergraduate medical education (UME) courses. This research project will compare the accuracy of LLM responses to an attending cardiologist, using anonymous inquiries to weekly review sessions (taken from the course “The Cardiovascular System”, BMS 6633). The student will be responsible for helping to gather and analyze data with the expectation of expectation of presenting the research at a scientific meeting and participating in publishing a manuscript on the results. With access to internet, the student can work remotely.

Research Project Description:
This is a multi-center prospective registry study of patients with PAD evaluated for claudication in vascular outpatient clinics. The primary objective is to determine the baseline rate of neurobehavioral dysfunction in patients with claudication. The secondary objective is to determine the feasibility of formal neurobehavioral testing. Subjects will be enrolled at three sites (VA vascular surgery clinic, UF vascular surgery clinic, UF cardiology clinic). Subjects will complete screening neurocognitive testing after a diagnosis of PAD with claudication is confirmed. If the screening test is abnormal, subject will be referred for formal neurocognitive testing at UF (PeCAN center) or VA (neurology clinic).
Students will participate by identifying potential subjects in clinic and administering neurobehavioral screening tests. IRB approval will be obtained prior to student start date to maximize student involvement. National presentation and publication of data is expected.
