abstract = {This paper explores the efficacy of Large Language Models (LLMs) in generating dialogues for patient avatars in Virtual Reality (VR) nurse training simulators. With the integration of technology in healthcare education evolving rapidly, the potential of NLP to enhance nurse training through realistic patient interactions presents a significant opportunity. Our study introduces a novel LLM-based dialogue generation system, leveraging models such as ChatGPT, GoogleBard, and ClaudeAI. We detail the development of our script generation system, which was a collaborative endeavor involving nurses, technical artists, and developers. The system, tested on the Meta Quest 2 VR headset, integrates complex dialogues created through a synthesis of clinical expertise and advanced NLP, aimed at simulating real-world nursing scenarios. Through a comprehensive evaluation involving lexical and semantic similarity tests compared to clinical expert-generated scripts, we assess the potential of LLMs as suitable alternatives for script generation. The findings aim to contribute to the development of a more interactive and effective VR nurse training simulator, enhancing communication skills among nursing students for improved patient care outcomes. This research underscores the importance of advanced NLP applications in healthcare education, offering insights into the practicality and limitations of employing LLMs in clinical training environments. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.},
