Special Issue on Informatics Education: ChatGPT Performs Worse on USMLE-Style Ethics Questions Compared to Medical Knowledge Questions.
Objectives: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the ability of the Large Language Model ChatGPT to accurately answer USMLE board style medical ethics questions compared to medical knowledge based questions. This study has the additional objectives of comparing the overall accuracy of GPT-3.5 to GPT-4 and to assess the variability of responses given by each version.
Materials and methods: Using AMBOSS, a third party USMLE Step Exam test prep service, we selected one group of 27 medical ethics questions and a second group of 27 medical knowledge questions matched on question difficulty for medical students. We ran 30 trials asking these questions on GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, and recorded the output. A random-effects linear probability regression model evaluated accuracy, and a Shannon entropy calculation evaluated response variation.
Results: Both versions of ChatGPT demonstrated a worse performance on medical ethics questions compared to medical knowledge questions. GPT-4 performed 18% points (P < 0.05) worse on medical ethics questions compared to medical knowledge questions and GPT-3.5 performed 7% points (P = 0.41) worse. GPT-4 outperformed GPT-3.5 by 22% points (P < 0.001) on medical ethics and 33% points (P < 0.001) on medical knowledge. GPT-4 also exhibited an overall lower Shannon entropy for medical ethics and medical knowledge questions (0.21 and 0.11, respectively) than GPT-3.5 (0.59 and 0.55) which indicates lower variability in response.
Conclusion: Both versions of ChatGPT performed more poorly on medical ethics questions compared to medical knowledge questions. GPT-4 significantly outperformed GPT-3.5 on overall accuracy and exhibited a significantly lower response variability in answer choices. This underscores the need for ongoing assessment of ChatGPT versions for medical education.

期刊介绍：
ACI is the third Schattauer journal dealing with biomedical and health informatics. It perfectly complements our other journals Öffnet internen Link im aktuellen FensterMethods of Information in Medicine and the Öffnet internen Link im aktuellen FensterYearbook of Medical Informatics. The Yearbook of Medical Informatics being the “Milestone” or state-of-the-art journal and Methods of Information in Medicine being the “Science and Research” journal of IMIA, ACI intends to be the “Practical” journal of IMIA.
