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.
