Program for Medical Education Innovations and Research
Adina Kalet, MD
Mack Lipkin, MD
The Program for Medical Education Innovations and Research is led by Drs. Sondra Zabar, Adina Kalet and Mack Lipkin, nationally recognized medical education innovators and researchers, who will work with Executive and Advisory Committees to strategically plan for program integration and success.
Funding will support the development of the Program’s infrastructure and new initiatives, and will facilitate efficient management of current medical education initiatives including:
Sondra Zabar, MD
- The Merrin Faculty Development Program and its related Master Clinician Fellowship Program which provides faculty with focused training to become masters of the physical examination
- The Research on Medical Education Outcomes (ROMEO) Initiative focused on improving the understanding of the links between medical education and healthcare outcomes
- The NYUSOM Internal Small Grants Program which supports faculty initiatives in medical education and research
- An extensive Performance Based Assessment Program with validated patient cases and tools
A distinguishing feature of the Program will be to study which educational efforts have the greatest positive impact on patient care delivery, outcomes and safety.
On June 2, 2008, the Program will host its inaugural event, a 1-day Conference entitled, Integrating Education, Simulation, Assessment and Research: Moving Forward from State-of-the-Art.
This conference will serve as a catalyst to discussion, networking and scholarship amongst faculty at NYU’s Professional Schools and Colleges as participants explore the use of simulation technologies in education and assessment both nationally and at NYU, and the impact of collaborative educational research projects across professional schools.
