I am the Director of the Gordon Center for Simulation and Innovation in Medical Education and Professor of Medicine and Medical Education at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. I am also the Senior Associate Dean for Continuing Medical Education and Research in Medical Education at the Miller School. For more than 20 years, I have focused on the research, development, implementation, and evaluation of simulation and technology-enhanced training systems.I lead an international consortium of clinicians, educators, and technical specialists that developed innovative training systems that are used at more than 2,000 institutions in 55 countries. The longest-standing example is Harvey, the Cardiopulmonary Patient Simulator, originally developed by Dr. Michael Gordon in 1966, and is now in its 10th generation, training hundreds of thousands of learners each year. Research by me and colleagues have established the viability and importance of computer-based simulation and virtual patient training programs in teaching health professionals, especially cardiac, and stroke assessment and treatment.Throughout my career, I have led several initiatives at the Miller School, integrating the use of simulation for training and evaluation of learners at all levels. Research that I have conducted with colleagues established the viability and importance of computer-based simulation and virtual patient training programs in teaching health professionals, especially cardiac and stroke assessment and treatment.My systematic review, “Features and uses of high-fidelity medical simulations that lead to effective learning” published in Best Evidence Medical Education (BEME) has been recognized by the International Association for Medical Education in Europe as the most cited and downloaded manuscript in the journal Medical Teacher since its publication in 2005. It has also been identified as the 2nd most cited article in all medical education journals since 1900 and the 2nd most cited article in simulation.
