This study introduces MedGen, a comprehensive natural language processing
(NLP) toolkit designed for medical text processing. MedGen is tailored for
biomedical researchers and healthcare professionals with an easy-to-use,
all-in-one solution that requires minimal programming expertise. It includes
(1) Generative Functions: For the first time, MedGen includes four advanced
generative functions: question answering, text summarization, text
simplification, and machine translation; (2) Basic NLP Functions: MedGen
integrates 12 essential NLP functions such as word tokenization and sentence
segmentation; and (3) Query and Search Capabilities: MedGen provides
user-friendly query and search functions on text corpora. We fine-tuned 32
domain-specific language models, evaluated them thoroughly on 24 established
benchmarks and conducted manual reviews with clinicians. Additionally, we
expanded our toolkit by introducing query and search functions, while also
standardizing and integrating functions from third-party libraries. The
toolkit, its models, and associated data are publicly available via
