+# Norwegian Medical Question Answering Dataset (NorMedQA)
+
+**Dataset Card for NorMedQA**
+
+## Dataset Summary
+
+NorMedQA is a benchmark dataset comprising 1,241 medical question-and-answer pairs in Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk). Designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on medical knowledge retrieval and reasoning within the Norwegian context, the dataset is structured in JSON format. Each entry includes the source document name, question number (where available), question text, and reference answer text. The content originates from publicly available sources containing medical exam questions and has undergone cleaning and preprocessing. NorMedQA is suitable for use within evaluation frameworks such as `lm-evaluation-harness`.
+
+## Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
+
+- **Medical Question Answering**: Assessing LLMs' ability to answer medical questions accurately.
+- **Language Understanding in Norwegian**: Evaluating comprehension and reasoning in Norwegian medical contexts.
+
+## Languages
+
+- Norwegian Bokmål
+- Norwegian Nynorsk
+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+### Data Instances
+
+Each data instance is a JSON object with the following fields:
+
+- `source_file`: Name of the source document.
+- `question_number`: Identifier for the question (if available).
+- `question_text`: The medical question in Norwegian.
+- `answer_text`: The reference answer text in Norwegian.
+
+### Data Splits
+
+The dataset is provided as a single split:
+
+- `train`: 1,241 examples
+
+## Dataset Creation
+
+### Curation Rationale
+
+The dataset was curated to provide a resource for evaluating LLMs on medical question answering tasks in Norwegian, addressing the need for domain-specific evaluation benchmarks in less-resourced languages.
+
+### Source Data
+
+Questions and answers were sourced from publicly available Norwegian medical exam materials. The data underwent cleaning and preprocessing to ensure quality and consistency.
+
+### Annotation Process
+
+The dataset entries were derived from existing exam materials, with cleaning and formatting applied to structure the data appropriately.
+
+## Usage
+
+NorMedQA can be used to evaluate the performance of LLMs on medical question answering tasks in Norwegian. It is compatible with evaluation frameworks like `lm-evaluation-harness`.
