Hello, future doctors and medical professionals! Are you tired of juggling your complex clerkship schedules in spreadsheet form? Well, we’ve got just the remedy for you! In this blog post, we’ll teach you how to use ChatGPT to convert your spreadsheet schedules into .ics files that you can import into Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar. Say goodbye to scheduling headaches and hello to organization!
To begin, let’s take a look at a specific prompt you can use to guide ChatGPT in converting your spreadsheet schedules:
“Convert this calendar into an .ics file format that I can import into my Google Calendar. This is a copy and paste from a table, where the columns are the days, and the three rows are AM, PM, and lectures/workshops for that given day, delineating the morning and afternoon.”
Now, let’s explore some generic advice on how to modify the prompt or coach ChatGPT to fix mistakes or make small changes as your schedule evolves.
- Be specific with your instructions: If you notice that ChatGPT makes an error while converting your schedule, make your instructions more explicit. Specify the format you’d like, such as date and time, event description, or location.
- Address the mistake directly: If ChatGPT misinterprets a part of your schedule, ask it to focus on the incorrect portion and provide the correct information.
- Modify the prompt for new events or changes: As your schedule evolves, simply update the prompt with the new information. For example, you can instruct ChatGPT to “Add a new event on May 15th, 9 AM to 12 PM, for a Pediatrics Workshop.”
- Ask for clarification: If you’re unsure about a response from ChatGPT, ask it to provide more information or clarify its response.
- Experiment with different prompts: If you’re not getting the desired output, try rephrasing your instructions or providing more context to help guide ChatGPT.
By following these tips and using the example prompt, you’ll be well on your way to converting your medical clerkship spreadsheet schedules into .ics files that can be easily imported into Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar.
