Medical informatics and medical education in Canada in the 21st century.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The advances of health informatics over the last 50 years are briefly sketched to reveal the pervasiveness of their applications in health and health care. The relations to research in health informatics and health are pointed out. From this perspective it is argued that the evolution of consumer health informatics in the last decade has had a profound impact on the practice of medicine, on patient-physician relations and, hence, on the requirements for medical education. The different access to information and how it is used in educational environments will also dramatically affect how curricula are structured both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The impact of health informatics on medical education is further elaborated, and the requirements on infrastructure in support of this education are detailed. This infrastructure goes beyond instructional laboratories and includes academic units for medical informatics and, most importantly perhaps, funding resources and adjudication capacity for health informatics research and their integration into the Canadian research organization and the new Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

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.
