Clinical Education & Training for Healthcare Professionals

MITIE^SM is an educational resource for health care professionals seeking to maintain excellent clinical skills, and develop and acquire new ones. Health care professionals improve patient safety with ongoing procedural skills training, research on skills acquisition, and new technology and procedure development.

Function and Purpose

The MITIE research and training spaces are housed under one roof. This enables the logical, progressive development of collaborative research and training efforts. The learning process begins with the development of new technology or procedural techniques by scientists and physicians working in the research core of MITIE. These advances evolve through the use of a simulated patient care environment. Once the efficacy of a technology or procedure is proven, it can be disseminated to practicing physicians in the MITIE training area and MedPresence room.

To introduce these skills to the entire medical team, MITIE develops the metrics required to define procedural competence, then conducts team-based and individual training in the virtual hospital. These final steps in the process facilitate the approval of credentialing bodies and the safe integration of the procedure or technology into clinical practice.
