Use Cerebellum to review, filter, and export institutional recruitment data across seasons.

1. What is the Cerebellum Institution Dashboard?

The Cerebellum Institution Dashboard is Thalamus's reporting tool for Institution Managers. It brings together recruitment data from all programs under your institution into a single dashboard, so you can review activity, spot trends, and export records — all in one place.

This guide covers:

• Viewing current and previous season data

• Navigating between sections

• Applying and resetting filters

• Exporting data

For information on the specific data available in each section, see Cerebellum Data and Optimizing Cerebellum Data.

Who can manage and view this feature?

2. Before starting

Before using the Cerebellum Institution Dashboard, make sure:

• You have an active Thalamus account with Institution Manager permissions

• Your institution's programs have conducted at least one recruitment season using Thalamus or Cortex

3. Viewing current and previous season data

Cerebellum allows you to review data from both the current recruitment season and past seasons.

To select a season:

1. Log in to Cerebellum. The dashboard will default to the last season you accessed. On your first login, it will default to the current or most recent recruitment season

2. Locate the Season dropdown in the upper right-hand corner of the page

3. Select the season you would like to review

4. To switch to a different season at any time, select the Season dropdown again and choose a new season

4. Navigating between sections

The Cerebellum Institution Dashboard is organized into the following sections:

• Institutional Summary

• Programs

• Health Equity Matrix

• Year Over Year

• Health Equity Population Census Comparison

• Health Equity Outcomes by Status

• Geographical Recruitment

To navigate between sections:

Use the scroll bar on the right-hand side of the page to move up and down through the dashboard sections.

5. Applying filters

Some sections in Cerebellum allow you to apply filters to narrow down the data displayed. Filters help you focus on specific applicant groups, locations, or characteristics.

How filters work:

• Filters are located above the upper right-hand corner of each report within a section

• Applying filters across two different categories acts as an "and" filter. For example, filtering by both Medical School and Self-Identification will show applicants who match both criteria

• Applying two or more filters within the same category acts as an "or" filter. For example, filtering for more than one medical school will show applicants from any of the selected schools

To apply a filter:

1. Navigate to the section you want to filter

2. Locate the Filters option above the upper right-hand corner of the report

1. Select the category of data you want to filter. Depending on the section, available filter categories may include:

   • Current Address State

   • Current Address Country

   • Permanent Address State

   • Permanent Address Country

   • Medical School

   • Medical School Type

   • Medical School State

   • Health Equity / Applicant Self-Identification

   • Applicant Gender

   • Applicant Status

2. Choose the appropriate option from the dropdown menu for that filter category

3. Select Apply Filters. The data table and graphs in that section will update to reflect your selections

To adjust or reset filters:

After applying filters, two additional options are available:

• Reset — returns the filters to their last applied state. Use this if you want to undo changes you have made since your last apply

• Clear All — removes all filters currently applied to that section, returning the view to its unfiltered state

6. Exporting data

Cerebellum allows you to export graphs, images, and data tables. The available export formats depend on the section.

To export a data table (CSV):

1. Navigate to the section you want to export

2. Apply any filters as needed

3. Select the hamburger menu (the icon with three horizontal lines) on the right side of the section

4. Select Download CSV

To export a graph or map as an image or PDF:

1. Navigate to the section you want to export

2. Apply any filters as needed

3. Select the hamburger menu next to the data you want to export
