The Simulated Internal Medicine Patient Learning Experience (SIMPLE) is a comprehensive Internet-based learning program for use by core internal medicine clerkship students. SIMPLE's 36 interactive virtual patient cases are designed to comprehensively cover the CDIM-Society for General Internal Medicine (SGIM) Core Medicine Clerkship Curriculum.
SIMPLE is designed to supplement traditional clerkship teaching and patient care activities. It provides medical students and clerkship directors access to peer-reviewed learning materials that provide a solid foundation in internal medicine medical knowledge appropriate to the core clerkship student.
SIMPLE is being developed by CDIM members in collaboration with the Institute for Innovative Technology in Medical Education (iInTIME). CDIM members have played a critical role in creating SIMPLE by authoring, reviewing, and piloting the cases.
