Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this scoping review is to determine the breadth of literature exploring the perspectives and experiences of racialized students in entry-level health professional education programs. INTRODUCTION: Despite the implementation of equity, diversity, and inclusion policies and alternative admission criteria for minority students, racialized minorities continue to be underrepresented and have the highest attrition rate in health professional education programs. Furthermore, the students who eventually work in health care settings report experiences of microaggressions and prejudice. By not exploring the experiences of racialized students in health professional programs, equity, diversity, and inclusion policies and curricula risk becoming irrelevant or performative. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Studies exploring the perspectives and experiences of racism and discrimination, or related concepts, among non-dominant ethno-racial (eg, Indigenous, Black, South Asian, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander), entry-level health professional students will be included. Experimental study designs as well as observational and qualitative studies will also be included. METHODS: The review will be conducted in line with the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. Five databases will be searched, namely, MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), ERIC, and Global Health (Ovid), with no limitations on language or year. A gray literature search of relevant websites will also be conducted. Two reviewers will independently screen articles against the inclusion criteria and extract and summarize data. Disagreements will be resolved through discussion or with a third reviewer. REVIEW REGISTRATION: Open Science Framework https://osf.io/4bhg6.

Not 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.
