For Teachers

This site is designed so that learners (residents, students, etc.) can study on their own, receive feedback, and self-issue a certificate (mokuroku) — all without anyone's help. All we ask of teachers and attending physicians is that you send learners a link like the one below.

All three areas are currently available: Area A (Unit A-1 and the Area A quiz), Area B (Unit B-1, Unit B-2, and the Area B quiz and practical exercise), and Area C (Unit C-1, Unit C-2, and the Area C quiz).

[Please self-study: how to use generative AI]

Please use the site "AI Kotohajime" to teach yourself the basics of using
generative AI.

1. Read Unit A-1 at the link below, and try the prompts it contains with a
   generative AI of your choice (the free tier of ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini,
   etc. is fine).
   URL: https://youkiti.github.io/ai-kotohajime/units/a1/
2. Once you have finished reading, try the Area A quiz. You pass with 8 or
   more correct answers out of 10. You can retry as many times as you like.
   URL: https://youkiti.github.io/ai-kotohajime/quiz/a/
3. Once you pass, you can issue a "certificate." A nickname is fine for the
   name field. Save the image of the certificate you issue and submit it to
   (submission destination: e.g., Slack channel #___ / email to your
   attending physician).

The whole thing takes about 30 minutes in total. No registration or
software installation is required.

Sample Text for Requesting a Completion Report

Regarding the "AI Kotohajime" Area A self-study I shared earlier: if you
have completed it through issuing the certificate, please post an image of
your certificate to this Slack channel (submission is optional). A
nickname is fine for the name field.

The certificate is not an official credential

The certificate is a self-reported credential issued by the learner. Please use it as a rough indicator of achievement, and refrain from treating it as an official record of training completion.

Optional: Questions for a 15-Minute Debrief

If you would like to hold a brief group debrief, the following questions may be useful.

  1. When you actually tried it, did the generative AI's output contain any "plausible-sounding errors"? What were they?
  2. Why were you able to notice that error? If you weren't able to notice it, what do you think would have helped you notice it?
  3. If you were to use generative AI in your own work going forward, in what situations would you want to try it?
  4. What kinds of information can you think of that should never be entered into a generative AI?
  5. Based on today's experience, if you had to recommend this to a colleague or junior trainee in one sentence, what would you say?
