History of respiratory medicine at University of British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Respiratory medicine at the University of British Columbia has a long and proud history of clinical care, education and research. The clinical care followed a distributed model involving multiple sites with focused special expertise at different sites. There were major reorganizations over the years and most acute care and research are now concentrated at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) and St. Paul's Hospital. This article outlines the development and progress of respiratory sciences at VGH and includes the merger with the UBC Hospital and closure of Shaughnessy Hospital in 1994. The major areas of clinical and research expertise are asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, sleep apnea, occupational lung disease, tuberculosis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension lung transplantation, chest radiology and thoracic surgery. More recently multiple programs have been integrated into the UBC Centre for Lung Health (www.centreforlunghealth.ca). The UBC Centre for Lung Health provided a framework for the collaborations and interaction that have led to the development of the Institute for Heart and Lung Health (http://heartandlung.ca/).

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.
