DESCRIPTION:Dr. Joseph Ravi Singapogu is presenting on Simulator-Bases Clin
 ical Skills Training for Improved Clinical Outcomes\n\nThe skill of a clin
 ician is critical to positive patient outcomes. Several recent studies hav
 e demonstrated that clinicians’ skill ratings\nwere significantly correl
 ated with clinical outcomes after treatment. It is imperative\, therefore\
 , that our clinical workforce be effectively\nand efficiently trained. In 
 view of this goal\, there is an ongoing movement by leading stakeholders i
 n medical education to use advanced\ntools to create standardized\, object
 ive and structured training. This tangible need\, combined with burgeoning
  medical technologies\nlike surgical robots and smart operating rooms\, ha
 s fueled the field of medical simulation. Another factor that propels the 
 need\nfor simulation-based clinical skills training is the growing problem
  of medical errors\, now the third leading cause of death in the US.\nTher
 efore\, simulation-based methods are currently being explored in a plethor
 a of medical disciplines as a means of training a skilled\nworkforce. In t
 his seminar\, I will present an overview of my research in using novel sen
 sors and devices to measure clinical skills like\nsurgical suturing and he
 modialysis cannulation. I will also discuss my current work that seeks to 
 integrate sensor data from multiple\nmodalities to quantify skill. To conc
 lude\, several research questions that are key to enabling effective simul
 ation-based skills\ntraining will be motivated including (1) the need for 
 extracting meaningful metrics from the vast array of sensor data available
  in\nmodern simulators\, (2) integration of multiple sensor streams (from 
 multiple sensory modalities) for training clinical skills and (3) the\nuti
 lity of using subtask-specific metrics for skill assessment and training.\
