# MedDocBench Sample

This is the public 10-document sample release for **MedDocBench: Benchmarking
Vision-Language Models for Reliable Structured Extraction from Real-World
Clinical Forms**.

The sample is provided for repository smoke tests, format inspection, and
reproducibility checks. The full secondary-redacted dataset is released as a
separate gated Hugging Face dataset; its dataset card is public so users can
read the access terms, but full-data downloads require manual approval.
