While studies on generative artificial intelligence(GAI) in medical education have attracted more and more attention, there exists a gap in the literature in this field. To gain insight into the research trends and focal area in this field, a bibliometric analysis is conducted on studies of GAI-related medical education, utilizing the Web of Science database over the past two years. Based on a search strategy, 281 relevant articles are utilized for the analysis in which the analytical tool is CiteSpace. The aim of these analyses is to ascertain main trends, categories, countries, institutions, journals and keywords in this field, while also assessing the impact of these GAI-related medical education studies. This approach ultimately reveals the GAI technologies are integrated with medical education deeply based on CiteSpace analysis. The analysis of noun phrases and keyword co-occurrence provide insights into particular clusters of interest, important themes and relationships in the GAI-related medical education field. Together, the results of this bibliometric analysis offer high-level insights into the progression, development, and broader implications of research focused on GAI-related medical education, providing a foundation that can help to guide studies and direction of GAI-related medical education researches in the future.
