Translating education science into precision, evidence-based educational practice
We are SIMPL
The future of medical education is using assessment data to improve and individualize how we train the next generation of providers. Collecting, storing, and analyzing these data is challenging for programs and national organizations alike. In the past 10 years, thousands of faculty and trainees have used the SIMPL Platform, including the SIMPL OR, and SIMPL Bedside modules to improve assessment and feedback.
Organized as a 501(c) 3 non-profit, the SIMPL collaborative now encompasses over 400 programs in 28 different specialties in 6 countries, all of whom share a common vision to support continuous improvement in the medical education system. In addition, we partner with multiple major specialty boards and societies. SIMPL is on a mission to improve medical education, assessment, and certification. We aim to support your program, institution, or national network in scaling feasible evidence-based practices.
For Programs:
SIMPL Network Membership includes access to a cutting edge evidence-based platform for trainee feedback, assessment, and ACGME case logging. We also provide members with access to research data, advanced analytics, CCC-reports, and more. A full-time team of medical educators are on staff to support implementation, long-term engagement, and continuous platform improvements.
For Boards and National Stakeholders
SIMPL provides full-service support to launch Entrustable Professional Activity (EPA) assessments on the SIMPL Platform, at any scale. Our platform has the analytic power to make credible recommendations for standards, credentialing, and certification, all while maintaining the highest standards of data management, security, legality, and ethics.
For Institutions:
Partner with SIMPL for early access to our institution-wide bedside procedure credentialing module to monitor and credential trainees on indirect supervision, ensuring compliance with the Joint Commission.
