Revolutionizing Medical QA with Multi-Agent AI Collaboration
This paper introduces MAPC, a Multi-Agent Planning-Collaboration framework that dramatically enhances medical question answering. By decomposing complex medical questions into three distinct stages—Planning, Role-Playing, and Polishing—MAPC significantly boosts accuracy, reduces hallucinations, and improves interpretability in clinical decision support and medical education.
Executive Impact
MAPC sets a new benchmark in medical QA, demonstrating significant improvements across critical healthcare datasets.

How MAPC Mitigates Challenges
MAPC's multi-agent design addresses critical limitations of single-agent LLMs in medical QA, such as hallucinations and lack of interpretability. By enforcing a structured three-stage pipeline with distinct agent responsibilities, the framework ensures a more reliable, evidence-based reasoning process. The Planning Agent breaks down complexity, the Role-Playing Agent grounds answers in medical knowledge, and the Polishing Agent ensures coherent synthesis, leading to more robust and trustworthy medical AI systems.
| Benchmark | MAPC (Ours) | GPT-4 (Few-shot) | Med-PaLM 2 (Best) |
|---|---|---|---|
| MedQA (%) | 76.0 | 86.1 | 86.5 |
| MEDMCQA (%) | 79.0 | 73.7 | 72.3 |
| PubMedQA (%) | 92.0 | 80.8 | 81.8 |

The Power of Multi-Agent Specialization
The framework's success stems from its ability to assign distinct responsibilities to specialized agents. The Planning Agent focuses solely on decomposition, the Role-Playing Agent on evidence-based answering, and the Polishing Agent on synthesis. This division of labor reduces the cognitive load on individual agents, fosters explicit intermediate reasoning, and significantly improves overall robustness and accuracy in complex medical QA tasks.
