WISE-MD collaboration

iInTIME’s most recent collaborative effort is with WISE-MD - The Web Initiative for Surgical Education. WISE-MD is a series of web-based modules for surgical education developed by the Department of Surgery and the Program for Medical Education and Technology at NYU in association with the American College of Surgeons and the Association of Surgical Educators.  Eight WISE-MD modules are currently completed and available to institutions at no charge.  Additional WISE-MD modules are in development and more modules are planned. The WISE-MD Editorial Board, comprised of nationally-recognized surgical educators, has determined the scope and content of the modules. Look forward to more updates soon!

fmCASES update

Thanks to the outpouring of interest from last month’s call for authors from all over the country, the fmCASES Project Development Group has assembled a definite roster of authors for the remaining 23 cases. Meanwhile, the Project Development Group is busy on their own set of 6 cases, bringing the final case total to 29. We are very excited to begin collaborating with these new contributors and move forward with the case development process!

SIMPLE update

Case development is advancing according to plan. Currently, there are 13 pilot versions of the cases available for use through the SIMPLE website. Development of the remaining cases is progressing quickly. Peer review of the cases has also begun. Thanks to everyone who attended the SIMPLE workshop at the CDIM meeting in Orlando and visited the iInTIME booth!
