"CLIPP
cases are interactive, virtual patient cases which comprehensively
address the learning objectives of the Council On Medical Student
Education in Pediatrics (COMSEP) curriculum. Developed by a
national collaborative of pediatric educators, these cases satisfy LCME
ED-2 requirements and provide students with standardized exposure to
fundamental issues in pediatric health care".
Drs. Mike Dell & Sherilyn Smith, CLIPP Editors-in-Chief
"The SIMPLE cases have been authored, reviewed and pilot tested by a
wide range of clerkship directors from diverse medical schools. The
cases address common core problems in internal medicine that every
medical student should learn over the course of the third year
clerkship. The interactive online format is appealing to both learners
and faculty, and the cases help ensure that every student has the
opportunity to see important core topics".
Karen E. Hauer, MD, CDIM President
"fmCASES has been developed by leading medical educators from family
medicine, reinforcing the guidelines of the Family Medicine Clerkship
Curriculum and providing standardized content and feedback in an
innovative and engaging way for today's learners".
Scott Fields, MD, MHA, STFM Immediate Past President
"WISE-MD
consists of a number of multimedia presentations on common surgical
conditions including biliary track disease, colon cancer, appendicitis,
hernia, etc. The modules are used in surgical clerkships to
enhance traditional clinical educational modalities. The
availability of the learning modules through the web enables students
to access high quality content at any time and at any location.
This is particularly advantageous for programs that have students
distributed throughout various services in multiple hospitals. Many of
the 33 medical schools that have incorporated the modules into their
clerkships have reported that the WISE-MD modules satisfy the LCME
requirement to provide some uniformity to the curriculum for their
students".
Thomas Riles, MD, WISE-MD Executive Director
"We
welcome you to MedU - the culmination of our vision to bring medical
educators together to develop innovative tools for educating tomorrow's
physicians in today's health care environment. We are excited about our
evolution as an organization and invite you to learn more about what
MedU can offer you and your students."

Students, and WISE-MD – Web Initiative for Surgical Education of
Medical Doctors, is the place where medical education knows no
boundaries – crossing core disciplines, time, and distance, empowering
medical educators to collaborate and educate tomorrow’s physicians in
today’s health care environment.
Our
virtual patient cases have been widely accepted by medical educators,
with use in more than 130 medical schools in the U.S. and Canada. More
than 500,000 iInTIME virtual patient case sessions have been completed
since 2004.
Save Your Clerkship Money!
MedU
operates on a subscription model through the Institute for Innovative
Technology In Medical Education (iInTIME).By meeting the evolving needs
of medical education efficiently and effectively, MedU virtual
patient cases save your clerkship money! - Using
MedU virtual patient cases assists in meeting many of the accreditation
standards put forth by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education
(LCME), preserving time and money needed to track and meet the LCME
requirements.
- MedU
virtual patient cases saves faculty time and departmental funds by
offering educators opportunity to monitor student progress, freeing
clerkship directors to support and remediate at-risk students and
increasing the success rate and value of student learning.
- Integrating
MedU virtual patient cases into your clerkship meets the demands of
increased class size with ease, replacing didactic lectures with
high-quality, peer-reviewed material and providing more time to enhance
the value of clinical precepting through faculty and student
interactions.
- Relying
on MedU to keep your curriculum current enables institutions to
allocate resources to other critical clerkship needs. Our project
development groups and editorial boards are constantly refining the
cases, ensuring the content and pedagogical methodologies remain up to
date and aligned with national curricula.
- Working
from the platform of cases, MedU cases assist community preceptors in
effectively delivering your curriculum. Save money on faculty
development and allow your preceptors to focus their time with students.
- The
average per student cost for each set of MedU virtual patient cases,
based on only third-year medical student use, is approximately $46.
This is comparable to the cost per student for the NBME Subject
exam. In addition, subscriptions to CLIPP and fmCASES include a final
exam specifically based on the content of CLIPP and fmCASES. We also
offer a free exam scoring service, saving you important administrative
time and expense.
