Abstract
IAMRA 2025 Registration OpenRegistration is now open for the 16th International Conference on Medical Regulation, organized by IAMRA (International Association of Medical Regulatory Authorities) and hosted by the Medical Council of Ireland. The conference will be held in Dublin, Ireland September 3-6, 2025. This year's theme is “People-focused regulation for a safer global community.” Early bird registration ends on June 16, 2025, but registration will be available up to and during the meeting.This important international conference will be of interest to those involved in medical regulation and regulation of other health professions; medical education across the continuum, including primary medical education, post graduate medical training, and continuing professional development; assessment and remediation; and healthcare policy and medical workforce planning.For additional information or to register, please visit https://iamradublin2025.org/Licensing ModelsRecommendations ReleasedThe Advisory Commission on Additional Licensing Models has released its first set of recommendations to guide and advise state medical boards, state legislators, policymakers and others, as they develop and implement laws specific to the licensing of physicians who have already trained and practiced medicine outside the US or Canada.The Advisory Commission was formed in December 2023 by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), Intealth™, and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in response to increasing interest among state policymakers to improve patient access and reduce workforce shortages by changing licensure requirements for physicians who have completed training and/or practiced abroad.The following 9 recommendations, which are not intended as an endorsement, focus on the aforementioned eligibility requirements and related considerations for entry by internationally trained physicians into additional licensure pathways. They were drafted based on areas of concordance in legislation already introduced and enacted, as well as expert opinion that was collected during a months long public comment period in which more than 150 individuals and organizations participated.The full guidance document and recommendations can be viewed at https://www.fsmb.org/siteassets/communications/acalm-guidance.pdfAdditional recommendations from the Advisory Commission are anticipated later in 2025 to address other important areas, such as the criteria or assurances that should be required for a physician to transition from provisional to full and unrestricted licensure.

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; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
