Automatic generation of clinical notes from doctor-patient conversations can play a key role in reducing daily doctors' workload and improving their interactions with the patients.MEDIQA-Chat 2023 aims to advance and promote research on effective solutions through shared tasks on the automatic summarization of doctor-patient conversations and on the generation of synthetic dialogues from clinical notes for data augmentation.Seventeen teams participated in the challenge and experimented with a broad range of approaches and models.In this paper, we describe the three MEDIQA-Chat 2023 tasks, the datasets, and the participants' results and methods.We hope that these shared tasks will lead to additional research efforts and insights on the automatic generation and evaluation of clinical notes.Section Header Conversation Summary MEDICATIONS Doctor: Are you still taking the Trizivir?Patient: Yes.Doctor: How much are you taking?Patient: I take one pill two times a day.Doctor: Are you taking any other medications?Patient: I take Ibuprofen for body aches from time to time but that's it.1.She is on Trizivir 1 tablet p.o. b.i.d. 2.
