Our 2024 SEEF Fellows received a warm welcome to Philadelphia! We’re grateful that they had the opportunity to get to know one another and learn together during the NBME Invitational Conference for Educators.  Next up, research planning meetings with NBME psychometricians and faculty mentors.  

We’re in the midst of our second biennial NBME Invitational Conference for Educators (NICE), with over 150 educators from 90 medical schools across the country joining us! 🎉 The conference benefits assistant #professors by providing interactive sessions and item-writing workshops for assessment development skills. “Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a promising new tool that has the potential to empower medical educators," Christopher Runyon said. "Workshop attendees learned more about how these tools work, including their strengths and weaknesses.” 💡 Runyon's session focused on #ChatGPT and how educators could use generative AI to aid in a myriad of their responsibilities. 🔗 Stay tuned for more updates from NICE and learn more by visiting our website: https://lnkd.in/gktV2zyF #meded #conference

Before the #USMLE was established in 1991, the NBME Parts examination and the Federation Licensing Exam (FLEX) offered paths to medical licensure. Here, students sit for a FLEX administration. #MedStudent #histmed
