Abstract
The custom GPT is the latest powerful feature added to ChatGPT. Non-programmers can create and share their own GPTs (“chat bots”), allowing Health Professions Educators to apply the capabilities of ChatGPT to create administrative assistants, online tutors, virtual patients, and more, to support their clinical and non-clinical teaching environments. To achieve this correctly, however, requires some skills, and this 12-Tips paper provides those: we explain how to construct data sources, build relevant GPTs, and apply some basic security.
