Development of a Canadian family medicine pharmacy practice experience programme
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Faculties of Pharmacy in Canada must currently provide students with at least 16 weeks of structured pharmacy practice experience. In recent years, the College of Pharmacy at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada has been developing more practice experience sites in non-institutional settings. One of these is at the Department of Family Medicine at Dalhousie University. This paper describes the development and expansion of clinical pharmacy services in the Family Medicine Clinics, provided by one of the College's clinical faculty members. With those services in place, the clinical pharmacist was ready to begin precepting pharmacy students at the Family Medicine Clinics. A proposal for a family medicine pharmacy practice experience programme was written, accepted and piloted in 1994-95. Following the success of that initial trial, the programme has continued and expanded over the years. Evaluation from the programme participants indicates that experience allows the pharmacy student to successfully complete programme objectives and gain an appreciation for working with other health care professionals to optimize patient care. The Family Medicine Clinics also appreciate the contributions made by the pharmacy students and value the interaction between students training in pharmacy and residents in family medicine.

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.
