Transition to practice in pharmacy: An ill-defined concept?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Commonly described as the passage from school to practice, transition to practice, as a concept, as yet to be explored in-depth, is clearly circumscribed and conceptualised to better address the issues experienced by new health professionals when they begin their professional practice. This study intends to describe how the process of transition to practice is represented and studied within various health disciplines, particularly in pharmacy. A scoping review design was chosen to sort out a corpus of published papers on the transition to practice. The primary objectives of this review are to clarify the key concepts related to the transition to practice, make sense of the available literature and evidence on the transition to practice in health disciplines, detect gaps in the current knowledge, particularly in pharmacy, and identify relevant lines of inquiry that would provide a better understanding of this critical and vital process.

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.
