An extensive literature has covered the statistical properties of the Continual Reassessment Method (CRM) and the modifications of this method. While there are some applications of CRM designs in recent Phase I trials, the standard method of escalating doses after 3 patients with an option for an additional 3 patients (SM) remains very popular, mainly due to its simplicity. From a practical perspective, clinicians are interested in designs that can estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) with a smaller sample size and/or with shorter trial duration. In this talk, I will present simulations that compare CRM-based methods with the SM in terms of various clinical endpoints, such as accuracy, safety, trial duration, and sample size under different scenarios. CRM with a fixed or a varying sample approach with the implementation of a stopping rule will also be presented.

Learn to understand the difference between evaluation and feedback. Identify barriers to providing feedback and acquire strategies for overcoming them. Learning to give more effective feedback to trainees will help to improve your teaching. Register on KnowledgeLink (http://knowledgelink.upenn.edu).
Room 252 BRB II/III
Review standards for promotion in the tenure track. Learn how COAP evaluates the impact of publications. Acquire strategies for getting a research enterprise up to speed quickly and for cultivating a reputation in the larger scholarly community. Register on Knowledgelink (http://knowledgelink.upenn.edu).
Room 1412 BRB II/III
Research proposals are overtly persuasive: they succeed, particularly when funding is tight, only if they motivate reviewers into becoming advocates for the proposed research. In this workshop, we analyze the elements central to drafting a coherent and focused research proposal. What makes a proposal exciting, and how do the pieces fit together? Register on KnowledgeLink (http://knowledgelink.upenn.edu).
Room 1412 BRB II/III
The results text narrates the story that the figures tell visually. A well-written results section does not repeat in words what the figures or tables present; it describes the experiments that were performed and the logical connections between them. This session will focus on relating the results text to the figures in a way that tells a compelling. Register on KnowledgeLink (http://knowledgelink.upenn.edu).
Room 1311 Blockley Hall
Extramural consultants attest to your national scholarly reputation. If you are preparing for promotion in the near future, come listen to two COAP members explain how to select the right people as extramural consultants.

Our objectives are that upon completion of the program you will:
- feel welcome
- understand the School of Medicine's past, mission, and vision for the future
- understand the School of Medicine's organizational and reporting structure
- be able to identify relevant functional departments contacts and numbers
- be able to identify the resources that are available to support you as a School of Medicine employee
It is expected that all new employees and transfers to the School of Medicine will participate in the orientation as soon after their start date as possible.
A seminar for those who haven’t enrolled in Penn’s Retirement plan, or those who are in the plan but have questions or who would like information about it.
Some topics which will be discussed include:
- Explanation of Penn's retirement plan
- Tax Deferred Retirement Plan or TDR
- Basic Plan
- Matching Plan
- Supplemental Retirement Plan (SRA)
- How to enroll (web enrollment and phone enrollment)
We are all different. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®(MBTI®) classifies different ways that people relate to one another and provides powerful insights into our own communication styles and the communication styles of others. Understanding your style and how it compares to someone else’s can lead to better communication, more productivity, increased employee satisfaction and ultimately better results.
Upon enrollment, participants will be sent a link to (MBTI®) assessment. Participants must complete the (MBTI®) in advance of the class in order to participate.

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's Center for Biomedical Informatics and The Department of Nursing will again be hosting the Healthcare Informatics Colloquium Series. The Series provides an opportunity for Clinicians, Researchers and Information Services Professionals to gain a better understanding of informatics. This year's colloquium series will feature presentations relating to topics focusing on both Healthcare and Translational Informatics.
Leo Gilmore, M.S. from LPGilmore and Associates LLC will provide the kickoff session entitled, "Interoperability Challenges with the New "Recovery Act": HIE Tower of Babel". The session will take place on Thursday, September 24, 2009, from noon to 1:00pm in the Wood Building - Wood Club B Conference Room. The session will also take place via webex in the Wanamaker Building (Center City Location), Conference Room 8-029A.
Leo Gilmore, M.S. is currently a Managing Partner/Consultant for LPGilmore and Associates LLC. Mr. Gilmore was the former Senior Vice President of Information Services & Chief Innovation (Business) Officer at Lancaster General Health System. In addition, Mr Gilmore was the former Senior Vice President of Information Services at Christiana Care Health System.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand basic relationships of key clinical automation elements (ARRA HITECH - HIE - EHR)
- Introduce likely new information challenges associated with these elements (i.e. the new Healthcare IT)
- Consider new Information Management responsibilities and roles necessary for success (and critical leadership responsibilities not owned)
CME and Nursing Contact Hours will be available for those who attend.
