Translating education science into evidence-based educational practice

We’re SIMPL

The future of medical education is using assessment data to improve how we train the next generation of providers. Unfortunately, collecting, storing, and analyzing these data are challenging for individual programs. In the past 10 years, thousands of faculty and trainees have used SIMPL assessment toolkits, including SIMPL OR, and SIMPL Bedside to improve assessment and feedback.

At the same time, the SIMPL collaborative network has used data from that assessment infrastructure to advance the science of medical education. Organized as a 501(c) 3 non-profit, the SIMPL collaborative now encompasses over 200 programs in 20 different specialties in 5 countries, all of whom share a common vision to support continuous improvement in the medical education system.
