The MedBiquitous Blog

I want to express my excitement about joining the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) as the Director of Educational Technology and Standards and convener of the MedBiquitous (MedBiq) Community. I am humbled and honored to take on the transition of MedBiq as a program of the AAMC and want to acknowledge the leadership that Valerie Smothers and Peter Greene provided at Johns Hopkins over the years.

Johmarx Patton will join the medical education team at the Association of American Medical Colleges as the Director of Educational Technology and Standards.

As a long-time member organization of MedBiquitous, the AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) is pleased to be the new organizational “home” for our technology standards.  Under the leadership of the AAMC, MedBiquitous will continue its mission to develop and promote standards for the health professions that advance lifelong learning, continuous improvement, and better patient outcomes.

Although it doesn’t quite feel like it here in Baltimore, spring is here! And that means that in just a few shorts weeks, MedBiquitous will host our 2018 Annual Conference, designed to bring you and your colleagues together for a few days of education, exploration and networking. The event will be held May 21-22, 2018, at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore.

It is with great pride and excitement that we announce that David Cook, MD, MHPE, and Teodor Grantcharov, MD, PhD, have accepted our speaking invitations for MedBiquitous’ 2018 Annual Conference, to be held May 21-22 at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

MedBiquitous has launched a brand new web site, packed with easy-to-find resources and information about our standards and how our members use those standards to advance the health professions. 

Hopefully, those of you who attended MedBiquitous’ Annual Conference earlier this month learned a lot, took advantage of some fantastic networking opportunities, and returned home feeling motivated and energized about all of the great things happening within health professions education.

Simulation and scenario-based training create powerful learning environments for students and professionals to gain practical clinical experience.
