Former des médecins <i>in English</i> au service des Canadiens français : le cas de la Faculté de médecine de l'Université d'Ottawa, 1945–1965
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article examines the contradictory linguistic posture adopted by the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ottawa and the way in which Francophones and French language evolved there from 1945 to 1965. We suggest that the institution used English as a key to access government funding, allowing it to develop and, above all, to accredit its medical school. We also show that the standardization process in which the Faculty engaged opened the door even wider to the English language and to Anglo-American models of medical education. Even if French Canadians were able to create spaces for survival within the Faculty, the University negotiated their access to medical education at a high price. The result, we suggest, is that it continued to evolve in this unusual posture, convinced that it had to train doctors in English to serve French Canadians.

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.
