Researchers have developed a pipeline using large language models (LLMs) to analyze patient-perceived physician traits from online reviews. This system extracts ten trait scores, including Big-Five-style dimensions, from millions of U.S. physician reviews. The analysis revealed that male physicians generally receive higher trait scores, particularly in clinical competence, and identified four distinct physician archetypes based on these traits. This work aims to map the U.S. clinical workforce as perceived through LLM analysis of reviews, with potential implications for understanding bias and how LLMs influence patient choices. AI
