Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Within the field of global surgery, partnerships between low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs) are often used to improve surgical capacity and enhance surgical training. Similarly, medical rounds are common in postgraduate medical training, although joint rounds between LMICs and HICs have not been widely used. Over 1 year, 6 online joint education rounds were held for general surgery residents at the University of British Columbia and the University of Guyana. Rounds comprised resident-led case-based presentations on a surgical subspecialty topic. These rounds were evaluated by residents through an online survey and were found to be valuable and relevant to their training, with mutual and differential benefits to Canadian and Guyanese residents. This project demonstrated that joint rounds are a meaningful method to partner surgical residency programs and can provide another tool for implementation of global surgery.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
