Abstract
Medical and other fields experience transformative impacts because of Large Language Models (LLMs) which make natural language understanding as well as generation advanced. The analysis explores Pretrained Language Models (PLMs) development into LLMs alongside their healthcare applications and ethical concerns from implementation. The paper examines medicalspecific LLMs and their operational effectiveness across healthcare procedures before discussing future hurdles. The widespread use of LLMs depends on maintaining both patient safety through fair clinical decision support and maintaining data protection standards during their applications in patient communication and medical research.
