arXiv:2608.26147v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown strong potential for medical reasoning, yet the scarcity and cost of expert-annotated data constrain their progress. While reinforcement learning offers a scalable alternative, standard outcome-based methods in medicine often suffer from autoregressive credit assignment failure and gradient variance explosion. This leads to the "Right Answer, Wrong Reason" trap, where models inadvertently reinforce spurious correlations and dataset shortcuts rather than valid clinical deduction. In this work, we propose Causally-Aligned Reasoning Exploration (CARE), a theoretically grounded framework for intrinsic experience curation. CARE is built upon two rigorous conditions for high-quality training trajectories: Causal Sufficiency, which utilizes an agreement-based self-verification mechanism to mimic $do$-calculus interventions and effectively debias gradients; and Proximal Learnability, which employs dynamic entropy bounds to select experiences within the model's zone of proximal development for variance-bounded optimization. These rigorously filtered experiences are optimized via a dual-stream objective that combines on-policy group-relative exploration with difficulty-weighted experience replay. Extensive experiments on diverse medical multimodal and text-only benchmarks demonstrate that CARE consistently outperforms other strong competitors, substantially reducing correct-but-inconsistent reasoning and improving training stability.
