• CSS Seminar "Functional Mixed Effects Spectral Analysis"

  March 12, 2012 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM Wensheng Guo, PhD Professor of Biostatistics and Epidemiology University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine "Functional Mixed Effects Spectral Analysis" In many experiments, time series data can be collected from multiple units and multiple time series segments can be collected from the same unit. This article introduces a mixed effects Cramér spectral representation which can be used to model the effects of design covariates on the second-order power spectrum while accounting for potential correlations among the time series segments collected from the same unit. The transfer function is composed of a deterministic component to account for the population-average effects and a random component to account for the unit-specific deviations. The resulting log-spectrum has a functional mixed effects representation where both the fixed effects and random effects are functions in the frequency domain. It is shown that, when the replicate-specific spectra are smooth, the log-periodograms converge to a functional mixed effects model. A data-driven iterative estimation procedure is offered for the periodic smoothing spline estimation of the fixed effects, penalized estimation of the functional covariance of the random effects, and unit-specific random effects prediction via the best linear unbiased predictor.

• MEDICAL EDUCATION: Promoting Primary Care Career Choices

  March 12, 2012 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM Through the Rhode Island Foundation’s generous support, Lifespan and The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University are partnering to promote primary care career choices among medical students. We are bringing together medical educators and community primary care providers to promote primary care faculty development. Teaching Opportunities for Primary Care Providers will introduce participants to Alpert Medical School’s clinical curriculum and describe opportunities for local primary care provid ers to teach the sch ool’s students in the clinical setting, including a discussion of benefits for both teachers and students. Working with Medical Students in the Outpatient Primary Care Clinical Setting offers detailed descriptions of the teaching role in current clinical clerkships for community providers in each primary care specialty and discusses strategies for maximizing efficiency as a clinical teacher. Educational Objectives At the conclusion of this educational activity, participants should be able to: 1. Describe specific opportunities for local primary care providers to teach Alpert Medical School students in the clinical setting. 2. Delineate the tangible and intangible benefits of teaching medical students. 3. Provide a detailed description of the teaching role in the current clinical clerkships for community providers in each primary care specialty. 4. Understand the qualities and skills of an effective and efficient outpatient preceptor. 5. Apply information and skills learned in this session to future interactions with medical students placed in their clinical practices. CME Accreditation This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint sponsorship of The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and Lifespan. The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
