Review details LLM techniques for medical reasoning and future challenges

A recent systematic review published on arXiv examines the advancements and challenges of large language models (LLMs) in medical reasoning. The paper categorizes techniques for enhancing LLM reasoning into training-time strategies like supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, and test-time mechanisms such as prompt engineering and multi-agent systems. It analyzes the application of these methods across various data modalities and clinical uses, including diagnosis and treatment planning, while also highlighting the need for improved evaluation benchmarks beyond simple accuracy.
