Abstract
Background: Specialist physicians make up nearly half of the physicians practicing in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) but very little is known about them. -- Methods: We examined registration data from NL to form cohorts of specialists initially licensed between 2000 and 2004 (cohort I) and between 1993 and 1997 (cohort II) and followed them up to 2007. -- Results: By the end of follow-up, 50.6% of specialists in cohort I were still practicing in the province (median time 66 months) and 15.6% from cohort II were still practicing in the province (median time 35 months). Survival analysis indicated that Memorial University medical graduates (MMGs) were more likely than other groups to remain in NL. Large proportions of specialists in our samples were non-certified and provisionally-licensed. -- Interpretation: Memorial University is a substantial contributor to specialist physician supply in NL. Increased recruitment of MMGs may improve long-term retention.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
