Description

Alberto Nogales and co-authors test, in 2026, whether step-by-step AI reasoning grades student medical records better. Teachers of medicine face heavy loads of written case records, here in Spanish. Two AI models graded records with a scoring guide, using either one sample answer or chain-of-thought prompts that show each step. Faculty checks followed the machine scores.

One model, Claude, reached top accuracy near eighty-six percent with plain prompts. Its step-by-step mode led on most other measures, such as catching faults. Expert review found many gaps were in fact machine wins, lifting final accuracy higher. The present illness section caused the most clashes. The authors say such tools can also audit the guides themselves.
