ChatGPT clears US Medical Licensing Exam: Study

Los Angeles: ChatGPT could score at or around the approximately 60 per cent passing threshold for the United States Medical Licensing Exam, with responses that made coherent, internal sense and contained frequent insights, according to a new study. The authors found that after indeterminate responses were removed, ChatGPT had scored between 52.4 per cent and 75 per cent across the three USMLE exams, the study published in the journal PLOS Digital Health said. According to the study, ChatGPT also demonstrated 94.6 per cent concordance across all its responses and produced at least one significant insight, something that was new, non-obvious, and clinically valid, for 88.9 per cent of its responses. ChatGPT also exceeded the performance of PubMedGPT, a counterpart model trained exclusively on biomedical domain literature, which scored 50.8 per cent on an older dataset of USMLE-style questions, the study said.
