Area Of Science
- Medical Education
- Artificial Intelligence
- Ophthalmology
Background
- Artificial intelligence (AI) language models like ChatGPT are increasingly relevant in medical education and knowledge assessment.
- Previous research indicates AI's effectiveness in medical licensing exams, prompting investigation into its role in specialist training.
- The study addresses the growing utility of AI tools in supporting the medical specialist training process.
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate the performance of the ChatGPT-4o model on the Polish State Specialization Exam (PES) in ophthalmology.
- To assess the accuracy of ChatGPT-4o's answers and its declared confidence level.
- To determine the potential educational usefulness of AI in ophthalmology specialist training.
Main Methods
- The study utilized the official Spring 2024 PES ophthalmology exam, comprising 120 multiple-choice questions.
- ChatGPT-4o was provided with exam regulations and questions in Polish.
- Answer accuracy was verified against the Medical Education Center (CEM) key, and confidence levels (1-5) were analyzed. Statistical analysis included chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests.
Main Results
- ChatGPT-4o answered 94 questions correctly (78.3%), surpassing the passing score.
- No significant difference in accuracy was found between clinical and theoretical questions (p = 0.709).
- Higher confidence levels were significantly associated with correct answers (p < 0.001), indicating reliable self-assessment.
Conclusions
- ChatGPT-4o exhibits high efficacy in the ophthalmology PES, underscoring AI's potential in specialist medical training.
- The model's confidence ratings can serve as a valuable indicator of response accuracy.

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
