Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This report was prepared to illustrate the historic and modern relationships between pharmacy as a discipline, settler colonialism, and Indigenous nations. As an early finding from our community engagement with partners, there was an ask from Elders, Knowledge Keepers and community members for our team to prepare a document that identified pharmacy’s contributions to colonization, both past and present. It is intended to serve as a primer, providing context for pharmacy students and professionals to better understand their discipline, its legacy, and its modern-day impacts on Indigenous people, families, and communities. Pharmacists have a responsibility not only to study medication therapy but also to study the history of healthcare and its impacts on Indigenous peoples in particular, who experience significant health disparities when compared to settler populations.1 This report is intended to serve as a starting point for pharmacy students and professionals to begin that understanding and was utilized by our team to ground us, prior to engaging in our project, “Uprooting Pharmacy: A Two-Eyed Seeing Path for Change.”

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.
