Is it true that large language models can pass medical licensing exams?
Yes. A systematic review and network meta-analysis pooling 120 evaluations across 10 medical licensing exam systems found that 13 of 16 models exceeded the 60% passing threshold, with top models scoring above 89%. Individual studies on Israeli, Chinese, Thai and US exams likewise report several models passing, though results vary by model and exam.
