REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Educational Data Mining website: http://www.cs.gmu.edu/reu application deadline: February 15th, 2019 PI: Dr. Huzefa Rangwala Co-PI: Dr. Mark Snyder Field of research: Computer Science; Sub-Field: Educational Data Mining, Machine Learning, Visualization, Learning Technologies Point of contact: Dr. Mark Snyder, 703-993-5624, msnyde14@gmu.edu Project Description The primary goal of this interdisciplinary REU Site program is to expose ten high quality undergraduate students to advanced topics in analytics, data mining, and visualization techniques as applied to data from the education domain. Students will participate in projects with the central theme of improving instructional technology design, enhancing academic curricula and modeling learning experiences. From an analytical methodology standpoint, projects will investigate approaches to model the dynamic knowledge state of a student throughout a sequential academic program. Projects will also model the learning behavior of younger students in informal settings by analyzing the server logs of the Scratch framework or Online Engineering Communities. Projects will also model the learning habits of practitioners while interacting with online programming environments. BTW, a month ago we posted a list of all 92 REU sites, to help with your Summer-job hunt.

We are looking for a graduate or doctoral student to work with us on a SAS project. This project provides the opportunity to develop a real world application for Palmetto Health-USC Medical Group that could enhance your resume and provide experience in business analytics and statistical analysis. Below is a brief description of the project. If you are interested, please email us your resume and a brief statement explaining why you are interested. Project Title: Palmetto Health Family Medicine Provider Panel Assignments and Patient Redistribution The objective of this work is to design a SAS code that will redistribute existing family medicine patients of resident physicians that are graduating residency to other resident physicians in the practice for optimal continuity of care. The intended outcomes of this program is to contribute to Palmetto Health-USC patient retention, improvement in access to care, and revenue management. The student will have the opportunity to work directly with Cerner electronic medical record data and will be given experience in writing and initiating SAS code for a reputable health business. Project Requirements: To achieve our objectives, we need a student to partner with PH-USC information technology staff and medical director to create a list of primary care provider panel data from PH-USC Family Medicine patients. Palmetto Health-USC Family Medicine Center participates in the training of family medicine students and residents. Changing residents will need their patients to be redistributed among remaining physicians. Since the data will contain approximately 5000 patients to be reassigned, with the goal of even distribution for different medical conditions and ages, this will be a large-scale dataset. The proper storing and cleaning of the data will be necessary before analysis. This program will need to be run at least once a year - near graduation and at other times when a physician may leave the practice. We estimate that the amount of work required will span 2-3 weeks dependent on student SAS experience. Required skills: • Experience with statistical software – SAS, optional: R, Stata • Experience with handling large-scale datasets – such as R, SQL, SAS, Stata, Matlab • Experience with text mining – such as R, SAS, JMP • Written and oral communication skills Mark Humphrey MD MPH University of South Carolina Family and Preventive Medicine Department 3209 Colonial Drive • Columbia, SC 29203 E: Mark.Humphrey@uscmed.sc.edu O: 803-434-2423 Paul Cooper Associate Director Palmetto Health-USC Family Medicine Center 3209 Colonial Drive • Columbia, SC 29203 e: Paul.Cooper@palmettohealth.org O: 803-434-2463
