Medical student here. I’m impressed by ChatGPT’s ability to come close to passing Step 2/3. I tried plugging in my own question banks that I used for studying and it got many right. Even when it was wrong it was also “almost right” and its answer would not be disparaged on rounds. However one thing to keep in mind: a bot passing these exams alone will not disrupt medicine. There are plenty of doctors today that could ace these exams. I don’t think that the ability to outsource medical decision making to a bot will change much, especially since 90% of medical decision making is already outsourced to a flowchart or an “expert attending” physician. Much of the value of doctors today comes from procedures, patient interaction, legal liability, and patient trust, which cannot yet be done by a bot.
