Simulated Practical Exam in Internal Medicine- Congratulations Dr. Cheryl Bodamer

Dr. Cheryl Bodamer

Congratulations to Dr. Cheryl Bodamer for her successful presentation of our research on simulation in internal medicine. 

Although I am less involved now in medical education, I am proud to be a co-investigator in Cheryl's poster titled An Initial Validation of the Internal Medicine Simulated Practical Exam (IMSPE) for 3rd Year Medical Students. The research was presented at the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare, Orlando, Florida, January 26-30.

Using an online photo-quiz, the i-Stan simulator and the Harvey Cardiac Simulator, we have developed a standardized exam to assess clinical and knowledge competencies of third year medical students.

This is one additional assessment tool to confirm clinical competency in medical education.

Stay tuned, a manuscript is forthcoming.
