# Dataset Card for **Internal Medicine MCQ** |
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Details |
|
|
|
### **Dataset Description** |
|
|
|
This dataset consists of **41 high-quality**, two-choice multiple-choice questions (MCQs) focused on **core biomedical knowledge** and clinical scenarios from **internal medicine**. These questions were specifically curated for research evaluating medical knowledge, clinical reasoning, and confidence-based interactions among medical trainees and large language models (LLMs). |

## Uses |
|
|
|
### **Direct Use** |
|
|
|
This dataset is suitable for: |
|
|
|
* Evaluating medical knowledge and clinical reasoning skills of medical students and healthcare professionals. |
|
* Benchmarking performance and reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) in medical question-answering tasks. |
|
* Research on collaborative human–AI and human–human interactions involving clinical decision-making. |
|
|
|
### **Out-of-Scope Use** |
|
|
|
* **Not intended** as a diagnostic or clinical decision-making tool in real clinical settings. |
|
* Should **not** be used to train systems intended for direct clinical application without extensive validation. |

## Dataset Creation |
|
|
|
### **Curation Rationale** |
|
|
|
The dataset was created to study **knowledge diversity**, internal confidence, and collaborative decision-making between medical trainees and AI agents. Questions were carefully selected to represent authentic licensing exam–style questions in internal medicine, ensuring ecological validity for medical education and AI–human collaborative studies. |

|
### **Source Data** |
|
|
|
#### **Data Collection and Processing** |
|
|
|
The questions were sourced and adapted from standardized medical licensing preparation materials. All questions were reviewed, translated, and validated by licensed physicians. |
|
|
|
#### **Who are the source data producers?** |
|
|
|
The original data sources are standard medical licensing examination preparation materials. |

|
|
|
### **Personal and Sensitive Information** |
|
|
|
The dataset **does not contain** any personal, sensitive, or identifiable patient or clinician information. All clinical scenarios are fictionalized or generalized for educational and research purposes. |
|
|

|
|
|
## Bias, Risks, and Limitations |
|
|
|
* The dataset size (**41 questions**) is limited; therefore, findings using this dataset might not generalize broadly. |
|
* Content is limited to internal medicine; results may not generalize across all medical specialties. |
