Abstract
In the United Kingdom, the medical students of yesteryear undertook a detailed pathology course, often with its own major examinations. This contributed to the increasing overload of factual information that was common in medical curricula. Following General Medical Council reports on medical education, pathology is now more fully integrated into clinical work and into problem-based learning, albeit with greatly reduced contact time with pathologists. Teaching methods have shifted from didactic presentations, such as lectures, to more varied methods, with emphasis on self-access and interactivity. Technological advances have brought well-illustrated textbooks, computer-assisted learning programs, Web resources, and electronic communication. There has been a decline in the role of museum specimens, microscopy, and, partly following a worldwide trend and partly following adverse media publicity, the traditional autopsy. Assessment methods have evolved, with integration of pathology into wider examinations. The greater drive toward increasing funding through the Research Assessment Exercise has had an adverse effect on teaching throughout universities. Despite these setbacks, the importance of pathology as a clinical discipline will ensure its continued role in medical education.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
