Clinical Benchmark

About / clinicalbenchmark.com

Know what the exam score compares.

MedQA and MedMCQA evaluate medical examination answer selection. Their scores depend on which questions, options and retrieval resources a system receives. This publication makes those conditions visible: exact denominators, source-version discrepancies, historical experiments and the limits of an accuracy claim. Start with the benchmark dossiers, inspect the illustrative interval calculator, then use the comparison worksheet to document a run. Arcophos provides the analysis and tools; the original research teams created the benchmarks.

Who this is for

This resource is written for evaluation leads comparing medical examination benchmarks and specifying reproducible runs. Its scope is benchmark-specific analysis: what the published tasks measure, how scores are produced, and what the evidence can support.

  • Variant. Identify the language, answer-option format and split before reading a score.
  • System. Separate the base model from retrieved context, prompts and answer parsing.
  • Claim. Distinguish answer accuracy from evidence about clinical action or benefit.

Ownership and independence

Clinical Benchmark is published by Arcophos. Arcophos also publishes other healthcare AI evaluation resources linked from this site. Those links are disclosed as related resources, not independent endorsements.

The site is not the official home of any third-party benchmark, regulator, hospital, or model developer discussed in its guides. Benchmark names and publication titles identify their respective authors’ work. Our checklists and interpretations are editorial material.

How to read this site

Start with a benchmark dossier, follow its original references, and use the analytical explorer to inspect the tasks or scoring assumptions. The planning worksheet remains available as a secondary tool. Each guide states a direct answer, develops its reasoning, and links supporting references.

These materials do not establish clinical efficacy, patient benefit, or regulatory compliance for any system. Our editorial method explains the boundaries.
