This guide reviews how to navigate Cerebellum, including:
- Viewing current and previous season’s data
- Navigating between sections
- Applying Filters
- Exporting Data
For information on the specific data in each section, review our guides on Cerebellum Data, and Optimizing Cerebellum Data.
Viewing current and previous season’s data:
Cerebellum allows the Institutional Manager to review data from both the current and past seasons in which the institutional programs have used Thalamus and/or Cortex. Recruitment seasons that were not conducted in either Thalamus or Cortex will not be available within Cerebellum. As new seasons are created within Thalamus and Cortex, the season list in Cerebellum will update. This update occurs every 24 hours.
-
Upon log in, the season will default to the last season accessed. Upon first log in, this will default to the current or most recent recruitment season.
-
To navigate between seasons, select the Season drop down menu on the upper right-hand corner of the page, and choose the desired season.
Note: the season dates are reflective of the time period in which applicants are being recruited, not the period of time in which the applicants will be training with a program. For example, if an applicant interviewed during November of 2021, that applicant would appear in the 2021-2022 recruitment season. -
To return to previously viewed seasons, select the Season drop down menu again, and choose the desired season.
Navigating between sections:
There are five sections available in Cerebellum which reflect different recruitment data:
-
Institutional Summary
-
Programs
- Year Over Year
- Language Proficiency
- Work Authorization in USA
- DEI Matrix
-
Institution DEI vs. Population Census Comparison
-
Institution DEI by Status
-
Geographical Recruitment
To navigate between sections:
Use the mouse and scroll bar on the right-hand side of the page to navigate to different sections of the dashboard.
Applying Filters:
Cerebellum allows filters to be applied in some sections to further assess applicant data. When applying a filter across two categories, the filter will be an “and” filter (e.g. medical school & self-identification), whereas, when applying two or more filters in one category, the filter will be an “or” filter (e.g. filtering for more than one medical school).
To apply a filter:
-
Navigate to the section to be filtered.
-
Review the data that is current being displayed for that section. If a filtering is available for a data set, a “Filters” dropdown will be available at the bottom of the section.
-
If the filter options are not displaying, they may be “minimized” for that section. Select the “Filters” dropdown to display the full list of available filters.
-
Select the category of data to be filtered. Depending on the section, category options may include:
-
Current Address State
-
Current Address Country
-
Permanent Address State
-
Permanent Address Country
-
Medical School
-
Medical School Type
-
Medical School State
-
DEI/Applicant Self-Identification
-
Applicant Gender
-
Applicant Status
-
-
Select the filter to be applied and choose the best option from the drop-down menu for that filter. Depending on the application data, there may be limited options for each filter.
-
Once the category filters have been set, select the “Apply Filters” button on the upper right-hand corner of the filter list.
-
The data table and graphs will update reflecting the filtered fields.
-
The filtered data table and graphs can be exported by selecting the download arrow or hamburger menu.
-
To add more or change filters, follow the steps above and select “Apply Filters” again.
-
To remove all filters, select the button to “Reset Filters” in the upper right-hand corner of the filter list.
-
Filters will apply to the specific section being reviewed. For example, if a filter is applied to the “Program Summary Statistics”, those filters will not carry over to any other section and will need to be applied independently for each section.
