Bibliographic record
Abstract
Massage therapy is used by many Canadians for general wellness as well as specific health conditions and is recognized as a regulated health profession in 5 of the 10 provinces of Canada. This sequential mixed methods study explored and described the professional role of registered massage therapists in the context of urban Canadian hospitals. The initial quantitative phase consisted of a descriptive survey sent to the 5 % of urban Canadian hospitals that offer massage therapy services to patients. Of these 16 hospitals, 15 responded to the survey, and all were public healthcare institu-tions, with the exception of one private hospital. The hospitals were located across 4 provinces: Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. Six were teaching hospitals, 5 were large community hospitals, and 4 were

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.
