A patient diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis is being treated with heparin. Which of the following test will you order to adjust its dosage? A) Platelet count B) Prothrombin time C) Bleeding time D) Activated partial thromboplastin time
Heparin must be administered subcutaneously or intravenously, because the drug does not readily cross membranes. The LMWHs are administered subcutaneously. Heparin is often initiated as an intravenous bolus to achieve immediate anticoagulation. This is followed by lower doses or continuous infusion of heparin, titratin...

🏥 LLaMA 3.1 Medical Dataset

A cleaned, filtered, and unified instruction-tuning dataset for fine-tuning LLaMA 3.1 8B on medical domain Q&A with safety guardrails.

Built to train a conversational medical assistant that:

  • Answers health-related questions accurately
  • Refuses out-of-scope queries
  • Escalates emergencies to services
  • Never diagnoses or replaces a licensed physician

Dataset Summary

Split Examples
Train 56,631
Test 2,981
Total 59,612

All examples use a single unified system prompt — a deliberate design choice to ensure the model learns one consistent identity across all training data, guardrails, and inference.

Sources

Source Dataset Type Role
lavita/medical-qa-datasets (ChatDoctor HealthcareMagic) Conversational medical Q&A Primary — real patient-doctor conversations
medmcqa MCQ with clinical explanations Secondary — explanations only, MCQ-only answers filtered
pubmed_qa (pqa_labeled) Clinical evidence Q&A Tertiary — evidence-based long answers

System Prompt

Every example in this dataset uses exactly this system prompt — no variation:

You are a medical assistant trained to provide accurate, evidence-based health
information. You only answer medical and health-related questions. For emergencies,
always direct the user to call emergency services immediately. You cannot diagnose
conditions or replace a licensed physician. Always recommend consulting a doctor
for personal medical decisions.

This is intentional. Using a single consistent prompt across all training examples ensures the model learns one identity, which is critical for guardrail reliability at inference time.

Format

Each example is a pre-formatted LLaMA 3.1 chat template string stored in the prompt column:

<|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>

{system_prompt}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

{question}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

{answer}<|eot_id|>

Note: The \n\n after each header token is required for train_on_responses_only masking to work correctly in Unsloth. Without it, the boundary detection silently fails and the model trains on the full sequence including user prompts.

Columns

Column Type Description
prompt string Full pre-formatted LLaMA 3.1 chat prompt
instruction string System prompt (identical across all rows)
input string User question
output string Assistant answer

Filtering Pipeline

Raw data went through a multi-stage cleaning pipeline before being included:

Stage 1 — Hard filter (binary pass/fail)

  • Question length ≥ 20 characters
  • Answer length ≥ 50 characters and ≤ 3,000 characters
  • MCQ-only answers dropped (e.g. "A", "The answer is B") — these teach the wrong output format for conversational Q&A
  • Boilerplate-heavy responses removed (e.g. excessive "Chat Doctor" mentions)
  • Answers with > 8 questions dropped (non-answers)
  • Unsafe content removed (self-harm, overdose instructions, etc.)
  • Must contain at least one medical keyword

Stage 2 — Quality score (0–100, threshold ≥ 30)

Each example is scored on:

  • Length quality (0–25 pts): question 30–500 chars, answer 100–2000 chars
  • Medical vocabulary richness (0–25 pts): presence of clinical terms
  • Answer structure (0–25 pts): numbered points, multi-line, multiple sentences
  • Boilerplate penalty (−8 pts each): "thank you for consulting", "please post a query", etc.

Stage 3 — Prompt length gate

  • Formatted prompts > 3,000 characters dropped (VRAM safety for T4 fine-tuning)

Usage

Load the dataset 

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("sourxv-17/llama3.1-medical-dataset")
train_data = ds["train"]
test_data  = ds["test"]

print(f"Train: {len(train_data):,}")
print(f"Test : {len(test_data):,}")

# Inspect a sample
print(train_data[0]["prompt"])

Fine-Tuned Model

This dataset was used to fine-tune:

Model Link
LoRA adapters sourxv-17/llama3.1-medical-chatdoc-lora
GGUF (Q4_K_M) sourxv-17/llama3.1-medical-chatdoc-gguf

Training config:

  • Base model: unsloth/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-bnb-4bit
  • Method: QLoRA (4-bit) + RSLoRA
  • LoRA rank: r=32, alpha=32
  • Epochs: 2
  • Effective batch size: 16
  • Learning rate: 2e-4 (cosine decay)
  • train_on_responses_only: enabled
  • NEFTune noise alpha: 5

Safety & Limitations

  • ⚕️ Not a medical device. This dataset and any models trained on it are for research and informational purposes only.
  • 🚫 Cannot replace professional medical advice. Models trained here should always recommend consulting a licensed physician.
  • ⚠️ Hallucination risk. Medical LLMs can generate plausible-sounding but incorrect information. Always validate outputs against clinical sources.
  • 🛡️ Guardrails are soft constraints. Fine-tuning on safety examples improves but does not guarantee refusal behavior. A post-generation filter layer is strongly recommended for production deployment.
  • 📋 India-context emergency numbers (112, iCall 9152987821, Vandrevala 1860-2662-345) are used in guardrail training examples. Adapt for your deployment region.

Dataset Creation

Preparation notebook: dataset_prep.ipynb
