摘要

Purpose

We examined the performance of artificial intelligence chatbots on the PREview Practice Exam, an online situational judgment test for professionalism and ethics.

Methods

We used validated methodologies to calculate scores and descriptive statistics, χ² tests, and Fisher’s exact tests to compare scores by model and competency.

Results

GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 scored 6/9 (76th percentile) and 7/9 (92nd percentile), respectively, higher than medical school applicant averages of 5/9 (56th percentile). Both models answered 95 + % of questions correctly.

Conclusions

Chatbots outperformed the average applicant on PREview, suggesting their potential for healthcare training and decision-making and highlighting risks of online assessment delivery.
