Gordon Center Research

  • At the Gordon Center for Simulation and Innovation in Medical Education, we conduct outcome-based research to rigorously assess the effectiveness and impact of simulation- and technology-based training programs created at the center.
  • We continually evaluate the effectiveness of outcomes associated with our Prehospital & Emergency Training programs, Harvey, the Cardiopulmonary Patient Simulator, UMedic Educational Software. Several multicenter research studies have demonstrated the educational effectiveness of our training systems.

Harvey Research

Outcomes Research Evidence

  • Multiple studies have shown that the cardiovascular examination is a sensitive highly specific and cost-effective skill. At the same time, national studies of Internal Medicine and Family Practice trainees have clearly demonstrated that cardiovascular bedside skills are sorely lacking.
  • The solution suggested in these studies is repetition and feedback through simulation technology and testing outcomes.
  • The use of "Harvey" provides a mechanism to remedy the problem. Multiple studies have demonstrated "Harvey's" effectiveness for teaching and testing. An NHLBI sponsored national multicenter study carried out at 5 medical schools clearly demonstrated that students trained with "Harvey" score significantly higher on examinations involving real patients. However, "Harvey" can only be effective if it is made part of the required curriculum and outcomes are tested. Add to this a faculty "champion" of "Harvey," and students will learn important bedside skills that will transfer to their live patients.

Umedic Research

  • National multicenter studies have been carried out to assess the skills gained by using the UMedic system.
  • The implementation of a four-year UMedic Multimedia Computer Curriculum in Cardiology involved six medical schools: Miami, Emory, Iowa, Illnois, Florida and Duke. A total of 1,586 students reviewed 6,131 programs. The 4-year curriculum was found to be feasible and highly accepted. Success was dependent upon local leadership and a willingness to change.
  • Another study was carried out to determine if students trained with the UMedic system can acquire and retain core bedside cardiology skills. Five medical centers participated: Duke, Emory, Miami, Mt. Sinai and Northwestern, with a total of 208 senior medical students. Students trained in a clerkship that included UMedic has significantly higher increases in their pre to post test bedside skills scores than those trained in a standard clerkship. Taken together, these studies clearly demonstrate that the UMedic system will enhance bedside skills when made part of the curriculum and outcomes are tested.

Prehospital and Emergency Training

The emergency programs we carry out are carefully assessed. The Gordon Center was among the first to train and demonstrate the ability of paramedics to diagnose acute heart attacks on the electrocardiogram, as well as their ability to diagnose and manage stroke victims.

Research Fellowship

The goal is to develop a cadre of trained healthcare educators with skills in curriculum development, outcomes assessment and research. This program will help ensure our leadership role in curricular development, technology, simulation and outcomes research while developing a pool of clinician-educators to carry out our mission in perpetuity.

During this one or two year program, research fellows at the Gordon Center will learn to:

  • Develop curricula that emphasize self-learning and life-long learning.
  • Learn effective teaching and testing techniques and then develop and implement programs that train faculty how to teach and evaluate their students.
  • Use technology to enhance and complement traditional teaching through simulation & multimedia computer systems that include distance learning and web-based systems.
  • Design and implement outcomes studies for both cognitive knowledge and skills traing to curricular changes based on best-evidence medical education.
