A New Era in Online Learning: The Launch of ArcheViewer-Powered Medical Education
We are thrilled to announce that in coordination with our partners (Prova Education, ReachMD, AcademicCME, and Elsevier), we have launched the first eight lessons powered by the ArcheViewer! These practical case-based and video-based lessons have been uniquely designed to meet the educational and learning action needs of neurologists, cardiologists, hepatologists, endocrinologists, gastro-enterologists, hospitalists, and family physicians. In addition, we have made terrific progress with another partner, New Jersey Academy of Physicians, to create the first Virtual Course launching later this year.
Together with our Partners we have come a long way, but this is just the beginning. With the launch of these programs, our Partners can now engage learners in real-time and rapidly update and modify their educational content to ensure that it remains timely and relevant throughout the duration of the accreditation period. Following each program launch, Partners can integrate new and emerging data and learning objects into their lessons and begin to dynamically “nudge” learners using our real-time assessment model and simplified authoring tools.
To learn more about our progress and expanding capabilities, please visit the newly launched ArcheMedX website. In addition to detailed information covering our Solutions, Educational Programs, and the ArcheMedX Platform, you can now access over 1,000 articles, abstracts, resources, and tools in the ArcheMedX Resource Center.
Following these launches and with each new learner audience engaged, we will be accumulating mountains of data on clinician learning which will allow us to achieve the base mission of the ArcheMedx Research Program: enabling medical educators to move beyond asking ‘did our programs work?’ and begin measuring, ‘why (or how) did our programs succeed?’
This is truly an exciting time, not only for the ArcheMedx team and our Partners, but also for the community of healthcare professionals engaging with this new model for learning! If you are interested in partnering with us to enhance your educational programs and to explore new research models, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.
All the best,
Brian
