Electronic Medical Records Boot Camp: Biostatistical methods for analyzing EMR data The Electronic Medical Records Boot Camp is a two-day intensive boot camp of seminars and hands-on analytical sessions to provide an overview of electronic health data opportunities, statistical challenges, and latest techniques. This two-day intensive workshop will go over opportunities and potentials of EMR/EHR for health and medical studies, statistical challenges and pitfalls for analyzing EMR/EHR, and the latest developments of multiple techniques to address those challenges, followed by hands-on computer lab sessions and case studies to put concepts into practice. By the end of the electronic medical records training, participants will be familiar with the following topics: Power and potentials of EMR/EHR data Open-access datasets across the world Preparation, transformation and integration of EMR/EHR Confounding, bias and missing data in EMR/EHR and statistical methods addressing these challenges Statistical methods for comparative effectiveness Statistical methods for predictive analysis Investigators at all career stages are welcome to attend, and we particularly encourage trainees and early-stage investigators to participate. PREREQUISITES AND REQUIREMENTS There are four prerequisites and requirements to attend this training: Each participant must have an introductory background in statistics. Each participant must be familiar with R. Each participant must be bring a laptop with latest versions of R and R-Studio downloaded and installed prior to the first day of the workshop. R and R-Studio are available for free download and installation on Mac, PC, and Linux devices. Personal laptops will be used for multiple boot camp sessions.

The activity will span three weeks and will include a combination of pre-recorded lectures and live Zoom sessions covering the following content areas: Nephrotic syndrome, Nephritic syndrome, Genetics, Tubulointerstitial, and Vascular Disease, and Transplant & Dysproteinemia. The live sessions will be held on July 8, 15, and 22 and will consist of: • 45 - 60 minutes of Q&A/panel discussion with faculty focusing on the lectures for the week. • 45 minutes of two CPC cases, with pathologist and clinicians • 45 minutes of “show & tell” renal pathology lab – 7-10 cases per day Upon completion of this activity, participants will be better able to understand: • the pathophysiology and clinical aspects of the major parenchymal diseases of the kidney, with emphasis on clinical-pathologic correlations and the role of renal biopsy. • pathology, pathophysiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, prognosis, and optimal therapy for many different medical renal diseases, including but not limited to minimal change disease, FSGS, membranous nephropathy, amyloidosis, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy, hereditary nephritis, acute post-infectious glomerulonephritis, amyloidosis, light chain deposition disease, myeloma cast nephropathy, cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis, lupus nephritis, and diabetic nephropathy.
