Abstract
Overseas trained doctors (OTDs) are playing an important role as medical officers and specialists in the Australian public hospital system and as general practitioners in ‘area of need’ locations. This role is increasing as a result of the recruiting initiatives flowing from the Commonwealth Government's Strengthening Medicare program. Yet there are no requirements in Australia that these OTDs be first subject to a formal assessment of their medical knowledge, clinical skills and practice performance in a supervised hospital setting. A review of the situation in Canada, the United States and Britain shows that OTDs wishing to practise in these countries first have to undergo such an assessment. The reasons why Australia is different are explored. It is concluded that State and Commonwealth Government concerns about the supply of doctors have overridden worries within the medical profession about the readiness of OTDs to practice in Australia without formal assessment and further training.

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
