The paper introduces MACD, a Multi-Agent Clinical Diagnosis framework that enables large language models to self‑learn clinical knowledge through a multi‑agent pipeline of summarization, refinement, and application. MACD is extended into a human‑AI collaborative workflow where multiple diagnostician agents consult iteratively, guided by a judge agent and human oversight. Evaluation on the MIMIC‑MACD cohort shows significant gains in diagnostic accuracy—an average 11.6 percentage‑point improvement over authoritative knowledge for open‑weight LLMs and an 18.3‑percentage‑point boost over physician‑only diagnosis in text‑only vignettes.

MTDiag is a newly released multi-turn diagnostic dialogue dataset designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) in clinically meaningful ways. It is built from DDXPlus, MIMIC-IV, and AJCR case reports, covering both common emergency department presentations and rare conditions, and normalizes cases into a canonical schema using UMLS concept identifiers and ICD-10 codes. The dataset includes a UserLM‑8B utterance‑generation pipeline and physician‑validated natural‑language utterances, and introduces clinical knowledge‑grounded metrics that go beyond simple diagnostic accuracy for multi‑turn differential diagnosis tasks.
