Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Background:As standards of care in pediatrics improve, pharmacists are providing services to a growing pediatric population taking complex drug therapies. Challenges unique to this population that are faced by pharmacists in everyday practice include the need for suitable drug formulations, variability in pharmacokinetic parameters, dosing errors resulting from incorrect calculations, and a lack of easily accessible and reliable pediatric drug information. As Canadian faculties of pharmacy plan for the transition from baccalaureate to entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy programs, describing the exposure of undergraduate students to pediatric pharmacotherapy can help faculties determine the need to alter their curricula to meet the changing demands of pharmacy practice.Objective:The purpose of this study was to describe the pediatric content of the undergraduate curricula of faculties of pharmacy across Canada.Methods:Representatives of each of the 9 Canadian faculties of pharmacy were surveyed over the telepho...

Not 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.
