Education
Our Clinical Skill & Assessment Goals
The Center for Bedside Medicine aims to:
- Improve bedside clinical skills for students, residents, educators and clinicians across all specialties.
- Empower faculty and trainees to effectively teach and assess clinical skills.
- Create scalable clinical skills assessments that can be deployed across multiple learner groups and specialties.
- Incorporate precision education approaches to improve bedside skills for clinicians at all levels.
- Incorporate point-of-care technology (e.g., point-of-care ultrasound) into the modern clinical encounter and define the skills that trainees should acquire in undergraduate and graduate medical education for both physical exam and POCUS.
- Promote health equity through the bedside encounter.
The Bedside Medicine Scholars Program
Our center administers the Society of Bedside Medicine Scholars Program, which provides a one-year grant to three individuals annually. The grant allows clinician-educators to conduct a bedside medicine project at their home institution.
