Abstract
The big news in the pharmacy profession in Canada is the continued expansion of pharmacists’ scope of practice across the country. Pharmacists can significantly respond to the needs of their patients in ways that were not possible even 5 years ago. A few examples come to mind: Pharmacists are playing an increasingly important role in immunizing Canadians for both seasonal influenza and, in some jurisdictions, other important infectious diseases. This comes at a time when the importance of immunization is being underscored by recent outbreaks of measles and pertussis. Pharmacists across Canada are increasingly performing medication reviews, adapting prescriptions and treating minor ailments. Continuing professional development (CPD) and a lifelong commitment to learning are vital to practicing competently within this new environment. They also provide the confidence to meet patients’ care needs, to work more closely with other health care providers, and to explore new services to make your pharmacy stand out. CPhA has offered CPD programs for some time now and is committed to meeting the needs of pharmacists today. Our award-winning ADAPT program has given pharmacists the confidence and competence to practice in primary care settings and in many cases has helped to transform their practices. One of the new programs that CPhA is currently developing involves monitoring and interpreting lab tests. As several jurisdictions enable or consider legislation that will authorize pharmacists to order lab tests, we have responded by developing a program to help front-line community pharmacists embrace this new authority, better assess their patients, and contribute to optimal prescribing. Program development will be completed in early 2014. How will you incorporate expanded scope and energize your practice in 2014? Consider a CPD program from CPhA to help get you there!

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.
