Large language models (LLMs) are revolutionizing healthcare by integrating advanced natural
language processing and machine learning technologies. This proposal outlines a survey to explore LLMs’
roles in healthcare, focusing on their development, performance, practical applications, and challenges. The
survey will examine how LLMs can enhance medical education, clinical decision-making, and manage
complex medical data for personalized care. Additionally, it will assess LLMs’ impact on medical
workflows, research, and diagnostics, addressing reliability, safety, and ethical considerations. This survey
aims to provide insights into LLMs’ transformative potential and guide future research and innovation.
