Longtime #mdibiolab leader Patricia Hand, Ph.D., was honored in D.C. for taking the #MaineINBRE to success! She was presented with the EPSCor/IDeA Foundation's W. Fred Taylor Award.
"Thousands of Maine students and young faculty have benefited from Dr. Hand’s scientific vision and administrative brilliance.” — Bio Lab President Hermann Haller, M.D.
In fact, more than 2,800 students received hands-on training, 90% went on to advanced science/medical opportunities, and direct federal biomedical research investments in #Maine reached $87 million (so far).

As South Carolina’s premier biomedical research institution, the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) had hundreds of study opportunities to consider for feasibility to determine which were a therapeutic fit based on physician investigator and staff experience and availability. Unfortunately, their Feasibility Analysis Team's study selection process was tied to cumbersome spreadsheets and lacked transparency into historic and currently running clinical trials to gauge past trial success and current investigator bandwidth. They needed a better solution.
With RealTime-Devana, the volume of trial opportunities being tracked in MUSC's pipeline was doubled and detailed metrics and statuses on over 250 currently running trials and 1400+ past trials were available. Key metrics including enrollment, contract met percentage, current study stage, and completed milestones were available in real time to research teams across the organization, providing a single source of truth.

🎉 Celebrating Research Wins and Lessons Learned! 🎉
I'm thrilled to celebrate my mentor Yu-Che Chang's successful completion of yet another multi-year project 🙌 🎊. Grateful for the chance to work and consult on this project (and the many before it). I look forward to working with you on the new project!
A huge shoutout to my amazing teammates Fidelia Berenice Prayugo and Ida Ayu Setyarini, for successfully managing your first health professions education research project 🐛->🦋. I hope you get bitten by the health professions education research bug and fall in love with it just like I did years ago. Our heartfelt thanks go out to all the physicians who eagerly participated through the various phases of the project- your voices made all the difference 💝🙏.
Now, here are some key lessons we learned from our three-year journey exploring the complex world of clinical uncertainty, creating, and implementing an intervention to help novice physicians enhance their skills for managing clinical uncertainty:
💡 Lesson 1 : Nothing in research is ever certain… except for tea or coffee breaks! 😄 Consulting on this project taught me that designing and executing on a research project is like building IKEA furniture —you think you’ve got it… until you don’t. However, great leadership from our principal investigator Yu-Che Chang, collective persistence and open communication within the research team led to several collective "aha!" moments.
💡Lesson 2: Two heads are better than one. Using creative research approaches like design-based research and action research that engage stakeholders and experts early in the design process is the best-kept secret for developing useful interventions. The input from our physicians was gold.
💡Lesson 3: Celebrate small wins. Three years is a long road. Celebrate every completed step, as each brings you closer to a finished product.
💡Lesson 4: Welcome and embrace feedback. Interventions rarely work perfectly on the first try. Build it, test it, break it, and reassemble based on feedback from your end-users. With each cycle, your design becomes more refined and more effective.
I can’t wait for the team and I to write up and share the findings. Stay tuned!
