Proficiency evaluation of large language models in medical laboratory technology education
To assess the professional knowledge proficiency of mainstream large language models (LLMs) in medical laboratory education and to explore their potential as educational aids for medical laboratory technology students.
Methods
2
A comprehensive evaluation was conducted using 400 authentic questions from the 2023 Chinese National Clinical Medical Laboratory Technician Qualification Examination. Five LLMs (Copilot
Grok
Yuanbao
Doubao
and Kimi) were tested through two-round interactions using zero-shot prompting and interaction-optimized prompting strategies. The accuracy of answers and the quality of generated content were evaluated. Performance disparities were analyzed using Cochran's Q test. Content quality was scored through the CLEAR framework (completeness
lack of false information
evidence-based reasoning
appropriateness
relevance).
Results
2
In the first-round test
Doubao achieved the highest overall accuracy rate (375/400). The overall accuracy rates of Doubao and Yuanbao significantly outperformed Copilot and Kimi (
P
<
0.001). After the second-round interactive optimization
the accuracy rate of Kimi significantly improved (
P
<
0.05)
whereas other LLMs showed slight improvements (
P
>
0.05). Doubao still had the highest overall accuracy rate (380/400). The overall accuracy rates of Doubao and Yuanbao significantly outperformed Copilot (
P
<
0.005). Evaluation based on the CLEAR framework revealed that Yuanbao
Doubao
and Kimi significantly outperformed foreign models in the dimensions of evidence-based reasoning (
P
<
0.003) and completeness (
P
<
0.05)
demonstrating standardized citation of authoritative evidence and superior content quality.
Conclusions
2
The tested LLMs possess extensive medical laboratory knowledge. The accuracy of their answers and the quality of the generated content can be improved through single-question input
specifying evidence requirements
and enabling advanced reasoning functions. Domestic LLMs are comparable to foreign LLMs in terms of accuracy
and have significant advantages in the dimensions of evidence-based reasoning and completeness. LLMs can serve as auxiliary tools for learning professional knowledge in medical laboratory technology.
