CONGRATULATIONS!

Dr. Liebovitz
Congratulations to Dr. David Liebovitz and Dr. Mahesh Vaidyanathan on the launch of the Digital Health and Data Science curriculum within the Feinberg School of Medicine. This curriculum is a new component of the medical education curriculum to current medical students.
Dr. Vaidyanathan
The new curriculum component will see students meeting several core competencies and learning outcomes while learning about the health data ecosystem; the health IT regulatory environment; data science methods and research; digital health decision support; bias, ethics and health equity; and the sociotechnical context for digital health and data science.

AI4H Clinic

This event is open to clinicians who want to discuss a clinical problem or challenge they face that might be addressable through Artificial Intelligence​. As part of the HSIP442 course that teaches the topic on Augmented Intelligence for Healthcare (AI4H), throughout the quarter, we will organize several after-class sessions (3:30pm-4:30pm) to engage with the Northwestern Medicine clinician community.

These sessions are called AI4H clinics. During these sessions, clinicians that are interested in AI for healthcare will come to talk through their problems and ideas. Students, led by the instructor and course staff, will provide consultation to clinicians, think over and debate on solutions to the problem and submit a write-up of their experiences shortly after the session. For physicians who previously presented a challenge with analysis-ready data early on, we were able to turn it to a class project resulting in publications.

IPHAM Seminar Series

January 27, 2022 - Medicaid Expansion and Emergency Department Wait Times

Dr. Allen will present results from a study examining the impact of Medicaid expansion on emergency department wait times and throughput, key indicators of emergency department crowding. 

Dr. Lindsay Allen is an assistant professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Feinberg School of Medicine, as well as the IPHAM Buehler Center for Health Policy and Economics. As a health economist, she studies the way state and federal policies affect health care access and costs, especially for marginalized populations.

2022 INVOForward Therapeutics Lecture Series

January 28, 2022 - Positioning and Establishing Your Clinical Significance

Should the final goal of drug development also be the first goal?

Please join us for the second INVOForward seminar during which Mitchell Glass (CEO & Chairman, Accolade Pharma; Principal, Broom Street Associates) will discuss clinical significance as a primary endpoint in the development of a therapeutic. His talk will focus on the impact of clinical significance on sample size, biostatistics, and financing. Dr. Glass will discuss the relevance of biomarkers and how much one can rely on them. He will explore clinical significance in lieu of statistical significance and address scenarios where clinical significance may raise the bar too high. He will also discuss clinical significance in context of “failing fast” and licensing. 

This seminar is part of the INVOForward Therapeutics lecture series focused on helping Northwestern researchers gain insight into how to build a compelling therapeutic data package. Other INVOForward Therapeutics lectures may be found here.
