Abstract
The World Federation of Chiropractic and the Association of Chiropractic Colleges have hosted a biennial joint education conference for many years; however, this was the first year that the proceedings were published in a peer-reviewed journal. The Journal of Chiropractic Education was delighted to sponsor the meeting by donating the work necessary to edit the proceedings for publication and postproduction indexing, thereby making these proceedings available in indexing systems searched by academics at universities worldwide, including PubMed, Thomson Reuters' Emerging Sources Citation Index, the Index to Chiropractic Literature, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, the Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, and MANTIS. Brighthall, Inc., managed the call for papers, submissions, and administration of the peer-review process.The conference organizers recognized the international development of chiropractic training programs and the value of interactive formats and agreed to provide 3 different types of presentations for researchers to submit their work for peer review: platform presentation, poster presentation, and innovation panels. While most academics are familiar with platform and poster presentations, the innovations panels were designed to stimulate dialog and discovery among the participants where presentations were arranged by common topic. Following a set of 5-minute oral presentations, the floor was opened for sharing of ideas and moderated by a leader in chiropractic education. It is hoped that this new format encouraged vigorous discussion and promoted greater collaboration among participants.The call for papers was distributed in March 2016 and submissions were due June 1, 2016. All submissions were peer reviewed within a month by 33 independent reviewers from nearly every chiropractic training program around the world, represented by reviewers from 14 different countries. The peer-review committee is commended for exemplary work performed over a very short time. The peer reviewers included: Hasan Kerem Alptekin, MD, Bahçesehir Üniversity, Turkey; Fernando R.M.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
