Adverse patient outcomes are often the result of conflict or poor communication among healthcare professionals. Use interprofessional care teams can improve and delivery services. Healthcare systems have been historically hierarchical in nature with physicians regularly taking a leadership position. The presence hierarchy be source teams.

To address the persistent failure of schooling to support underserved students, youth participatory action research (YPAR) has emerged as an alternative and critical paradigm for educational practice. YPAR re-centers authority on marginalized voices understands a tool social change. Grounded in pedagogy, such projects enable students collaboratively critique oppressive structures envision more equitable possibilities. In this article, authors analyze project inequities conducted with high...

Because graduate medical education (GME) is largely publicly funded, it should be judged on how well addresses the public's health needs. However, current system distributes GME resources inequitably by specialty and geography, neglects to focus training physicians adequately in care of populations while reducing disparities. Instead, continues concentrate hospital-based academic centers subspecialties, which often exacerbates disparities outcomes access care. can more socially accountable...

Statistical heterogeneity is a measure of how skewed the samples dataset are. It common problem in study differential privacy that usage statistically heterogeneous results significant loss accuracy. In federated scenarios, statistical more likely to happen, and so above even pressing. We explore three most promising ways give formulae for their accuracy, while simultaneously incorporating privacy. find optimum parameters via an analytic mechanism, which incorporates root finding methods....

A key task in managing distributed, sensitive data is to measure the extent which a distribution changes. Understanding this drift can effectively support variety of federated learning and analytics tasks. However, many practical settings sharing such information be undesirable (e.g., for privacy concerns) or infeasible high communication costs). In work, we describe novel algorithmic approaches estimating KL divergence across models computation, under differential privacy. We analyze their...
