Passing the USLME also doesn’t make you a doctor. There’s a reason why doctors have to go through residency. Hands-on training is a huge part of training.
Maybe where this tool COULD have use is medical education for everyday folks. Could be just me, but sometimes there’s medical jargon thrown around in my medical visits that my doctor and I don’t have time to go through. (Note: This is just in my experience of US-based healthcare, where most doctors are pushed by healthcare administration to see as many patients as possible because healthcare in the US is a business, and seeing more patients = $$$.) This could be a useful tool to have that jargon explained in layman’s terms.
This tool won’t replace doctors, but it could certainly be something that enhances the healthcare experience by being a part of patient education.
