Current medical benchmarks typically break clinical competence into isolated factual questions, single-image tasks, or static case vignettes, which score individual answers but reveal less about whether a model can integrate subspecialty knowledge with multimodal evidence and track a patient's care pathway.", "body_md": "Current medical benchmarks typically break down clinical competence into isolated factual questions, single-image tasks, or static case vignettes.
