Evaluating the Effectiveness of ChatGPT Versus Human Proctors in Grading Medical Students’ Post-OSCE Notes

When compared to a human proctor, ChatGPT-4 assigned statistically different grades to students' SOAP notes, although the practical difference was small. The most substantial grading discrepancy occurred in the treatment plan. Despite the slight numerical difference, ChatGPT assigned significantly more honors grades. Medical educators should therefore investigate a large language model's performance characteristics in their local grading framework before using AI to augment grading of summative, written assessments.

Abstract

When compared to a human proctor, ChatGPT-4 assigned statistically different grades to students' SOAP notes, although the practical difference was small. The most substantial grading discrepancy occurred in the treatment plan. Despite the slight numerical difference, ChatGPT assigned significantly more honors grades. Medical educators should therefore investigate a large language model's performance characteristics in their local grading framework before using AI to augment grading of summative, written assessments.
