There are no program evaluation approaches designed for a crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. It is critical to evaluate the educational impact of COVID-19 to keep administrators informed and guide decision-making. The authors used systems thinking to design an evaluation model. The evaluation results suggest complex interactions between individuals and course level changes due to COVID-19. Specifically, year 1-2 students found more education metrics lacking relative to year 3-4 students, faculty, and course directors. There was no consensus for the value of similar instructional/assessment adaptations. The evaluation model can be adapted by other medical schools to fit systems-based needs.

Background: Segmentation models for clinical data experience severe performance degradation when trained on a single client from one domain and distributed to other clients from different domain. Federated Learning (FL) provides a solution by enabling multi-party collaborative learning without compromising the confidentiality of clients' private data.

Methods: In this paper, we propose a cross-domain FL method for Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation (FL-W3S) of white blood cells in microscopic images.
