There is a diverse range of
educational programs for a variety of learners, including nursing students, medical students, residents,
and practicing physicians. Each program has been designed to maximize learning for that specific audience, and may
incorporate such resources as simulators and inanimate models.
There exists a large range of research opportunities in the laboratory. Examples are: physical examination model development and assessment with Dr. Carla Pugh, MD, PhD, Motor skill learning and evaluation; in collaboration with the
Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and Dr. Fernando Mussa-Ivaldi, Ph.D. to N.O.T.E.S. research. Other interesting areas of research include error avoidance and management, and instrument development.
