Exercise is Medicine Canada: Early but important signs of the effectiveness of this national initiative
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Exercise is Medicine Canada (EIMC) is a national initiative aimed at increasing the number of health care providers (HCPs) assessing, counseling and prescribing physical-activity or exercise as part of routine health care visits. An integral component of this program is a national workshop campaign to educate and train primary HCPs on how to effectively use EIMC materials (i.e. prescription pad). Analyses of the immediate impact of these workshops shows HCPs reported improved confidence in their ability to prescribe physical-activity and view this professional development as valuable to their practice. The purpose of this session is to describe the EIMC initiative, review the initial impacts of the workshop series and present the first wave of follow-up evaluations completed 2-3 months post-workshop. Repeated measures MANOVA revealed HCPs report significant increases in confidence to discuss and prescribe physical-activity and exercise (p Acknowledgments: This work was supported by funding from the Lawson Foundation

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.
