Health Equity Outcomes for Institution Cerebellum Dashboard

Review the distribution of self-identified applicant groups across your institution's recruitment pipeline, and compare that data against state, regional, and national population benchmarks.

1. What is the Health Equity Outcomes Dashboard?

The Health Equity Outcomes section of the Cerebellum Institution Dashboard displays the percentage of applicants within each self-identification group across your institution's programs. The data is intended to help institutions understand how different applicant populations move through each stage of the recruitment process.

2. Before starting

Before using this dashboard, confirm the following:

• You have access to Cerebellum at your institution

• Your programs have uploaded applicant data into Cortex or Thalamus

• Your programs have used Thalamus features such as interview scheduling and rank lists, as those actions populate the status-level data in the dashboard

3. The Health Equity Matrix

The Health Equity Matrix visualizes how applicants self-identify across multiple categories at the same time. Each applicant is included in up to three identifying categories, which covers 99.99% of all applicants. The categories displayed reflect the major ethnographic groups present in GME applications, with additional categories included for populations with large applicant counts.

How to read it:

• Select a self-identification category on each axis

• The value at the intersection shows the total number of applicants who self-identify in both selected categories

• The No Identification field shows the count of applicants who did not report any self-identification

This chart helps identify overlapping population groups within your institution's applicant pool.

4. Health Equity vs. Population Census Comparison

This chart compares your institution's applicant pool against state, regional, and national census data.

Use this chart to:

• Understand how your institution's applicant demographics compare to the broader population

• Identify gaps between applicant representation and census benchmarks at different geographic levels

5. Health Equity by Status

This chart shows how applicants from each self-identification group progress through each stage of the recruitment process.

6. Filtering the data

All three charts can be filtered to narrow results by the following criteria:

• Current Address State

• Current Address Country

• Permanent Address State

• Permanent Address Country

• Medical School

• Medical School Type

• Medical School State

• Gender

To apply filters, use the filter controls available at the top of the dashboard. For full instructions on applying filters and exporting data, visit Navigating Cerebellum.

7. How the data is calculated

Self-identified percentages are calculated from data submitted by applicants through their GME applications and captured in Thalamus and Cortex.

Each status is calculated as follows:
