STFM TASK FORCE RELEASES LEARNING OBJECTIVES FOR NATIONAL TELEMEDICINE CURRICULUM

STFM unveils the National Family Medicine Clerkship Curriculum website.

Smiles for Life: A National Oral Health Curriculum for Family Medicine. A model for curriculum development by STFM groups.

The Society of Teachers of Family Medicine Group on Oral Health released Smiles for Life: A National Oral Health Curriculum for Family Medicine in October 2005 to address a need for high-quality residency and medical school curricula in an area of documented physician knowledge deficit. This article describes the background, planning, fund-raising, development, dissemination, and impact of the ...

Source Task Creation for Curriculum Learning

Transfer learning in reinforcement learning has been an active area of research over the past decade. In transfer learning, training on a source task is leveraged to speed up or otherwise improve learning on a target task. This paper presents the more ambitious problem of curriculum learning in reinforcement learning, in which the goal is to design a sequence of source tasks for an agent to tra...

Institute - Wide Planning Task Force Releases Its Final Report

MIT students have become addicted to two new popular websites, MIT FML (http://mitfml.com/) and I Saw You MIT (http://isawyou. mit.edu/), created this past semester. Filled with anonymous, quirky, Twitter-like posts the two sites were designed to entertain, bond, and poke fun at the MIT community. “We are living in such a stressful and yet entertaining atmosphere, it would be a great idea to ha...

Super-Resolved Traction Force Microscopy (STFM)

Measuring small forces is a major challenge in cell biology. Here we improve the spatial resolution and accuracy of force reconstruction of the well-established technique of traction force microscopy (TFM) using STED microscopy. The increased spatial resolution of STED-TFM (STFM) allows a greater than 5-fold higher sampling of the forces generated by the cell than conventional TFM, accessing th...
