Med-PaLM 2 was the first LLM to perform at an “expert” test-taker level performance, with over 85% accuracy in the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination-style questions. It also received a passing score on the MedMCQA dataset, a multiple-choice dataset designed to address real-world medical entrance exam questions.
