MARC is an open-source framework that replaces monolithic LLM prompting with deterministic multi-agent orchestration for clinical reasoning, designed to be model-agnostic, interpretable, and accessible to clinical domain experts without programming expertise.
Abstract
We present Multi-Agent Reasoning and Coordination (MARC), an open-source framework that replaces monolithic LLM prompting with deterministic multi-agent orchestration for clinical reasoning. MARC coordinates role-specialized agents for extraction, reasoning, answer generation, and evaluation, with explicit context passing and traceable intermediate outputs, enabling stage-wise failure attribution. We additionally introduce a Decomposer module that generates task-specific agent prompts from a plain-language description, eliminating manual prompt engineering. The framework supports both API-based and local CPU-compatible deployments and is entirely configurable via YAML, without code modifications. MARC is designed to be model-agnostic, interpretable, and accessible to clinical domain experts without programming expertise. The full framework is available at https://github.com/Penn-RAIL/MARC-v1.
This work proposes MRER (multi-agent reasoning with evidence retrieval), a multi-agent retrieval and reasoning framework inspired by evidence-based medicine that achieves an average accuracy and improves the logical coherence and trustworthiness of the generated reasoning.
EMR introduces a hierarchical clinical experience library that organizes accumulated knowledge into three levels: clinical principles, diagnostic patterns, and representative cases, and reveals that the hierarchical experience enables cross-specialty generalization and transfer across diverse LLM backbones, offering a...
It is argued that each of the four challenges facing responsible development is addressed by a clinical testing harness: a structured evaluation environment comprising scenario libraries built from clinical edge cases, full-trajectory observability, explicit escalation testing, and staged evidence thresholds tied to sc...

Sarse Multi-Stage Expert-Agent Routing is proposed, a language-based clinical reasoning framework that models diagnosis as a stage-wise routing process and adaptively activates a sparse set of medical expert agents, supported by expert-specific memory across stages.

Qian et al. showed single LLMs can generate acceptable knowledge-based questions but struggle with higher-order reasoning. We argue this is architectural: decomposing item development into specialized agents for drafting, critique, and iterative adversarial refinement improves quality. In blinded evaluation for China’s...
A framework that treats diagnosis as a coordination problem rather than a modeling one is described and improved on both across accuracy, F1-score, explanation faithfulness and clinician-rated trust, at an added latency of roughly five seconds per case.
