Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

While safe surgical and anesthetic practice is dependent upon a sustainable blood supply, access to education in transfusion medicine (TM) is often lacking in low-and middleincome countries.1 Transfusion Camp (TC) is an educational initiative that aims to provide a strong baseline level of TM knowledge for non-TM trainees using a curriculum that combines didactic and team-based learning, 2 and was shown to be effective in a 2022 pilot course, 3 and a subsequent train-the-trainer course expansion for 51 Rwandan clinicians and laboratory technicians in 2023.4 The course expansion in 2023 included focus group sessions on TM education that recommended the implementation of an annual multi-day TC for graduating medical students.4 The TC curriculum was provided for the first time

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.
