Constructing and Evaluating Clinical Reasoning Trajectories for Medical Agent
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.05090v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluation of medical artificial intelligence agents remains predominantly answer-centric, assessing only the correctness of final outputs while overlooking the quality of intermediate reasoning. In clinical settings, however, a correct answer reached through fabricated evidence or incoherent logic is as dangerous as an incorrect one. We propose MedTraj, a framework that treats reasoning trajectories as critical objects for construction, evaluation, and optimization. The pipeline generates structured multi-step reasoning chains from medical reaso
