Examinations-for-Medical-PErsonnel-in-Chinese(EMPEC)

This repo provides a test to measure language models' ability to answer medical questions in Chinese. (Both Traditional and Simplified)

EMPC contains the recent 10 years of test questions of Taiwan's Professional and Technical Examinations for Medical Personnel.

We collect the tests for various medical professionals such as Medical Technologist, Medical Radiation Technologist, Registered Professional Nurse, Physical Therapist et. al. There are in total of 81761 single-choice questions covering a wide range of subjects including General Clinical Psychology, Anatomy and Physiology, Fundamentals of Respiratory Care, and Occupational Therapy Techniques et.al.

EMPC forms a remarkable challenge for AI models and can serve as an effective tool to evaluate models' medical knowledge encoded in Chinese. We hope EMPC could support the exploration and building of Large Multi-lingual or Chinese Language Models, especially in the medical domain.

Our dataset can be downloaded from Google Drive and 百度网盘.
