+
+## Description
+
+Provide a brief description of your model, including:
+
+- Model architecture and key components
+- Intended purpose and target tasks
+- Any notable features or innovations
+- Limitations or constraints
+
+## Computational Requirements
+
+Provide information about the computational requirements of your model, including:
+
+- Hardware specifications used during testing (e.g., GPU type, memory)
+- Computational resources required for training and inference
+- Performance characteristics (e.g., training speed)
+
+## Dependencies
+
+List all dependencies required to run your model. For each dependency, provide:
+
+- Name of the dependency
+- Version number (if applicable)
+- Any specific installation instructions (if needed)
+
+Example:
+
+- Python 3.8+
+- TensorFlow 2.4.0

+
+## Running the model
+
+Please provide detailed instructions for running your model, including:
+
+- Installation steps
+- Command-line instructions or API usage
+- Description of all parameters and their default values
+- Troubleshooting tips (if applicable)
+
+## Resources and links
+
+Please provide the following:
+
+- Link to the model's implementation repository
+- Link to the model's documentation (if separate from the repository)
+- Any relevant research papers or articles
+- Links to pre-trained model weights (if applicable)
+- Any additional resources that would be helpful for users
+
+## Checklist
+
+Please ensure your model conforms to the MEDS-DEV API by checking the following:
+
+- [ ] It is compatible with the most recent version of the MEDS data format.
+- [ ] Its outputs are compatible with the most recent version of the MEDS-evaluation schema.
+- [ ] All required dependencies are clearly listed and versioned.
+- [ ] The model can be run using the provided instructions without errors.
+- [ ] The model documentation is complete and follows this template.
+- [ ] (If applicable) The model has been tested on a sample dataset provided by MEDS-DEV.
