Dr. Paul E. Phrampus gave an outstanding world class lecture on the topic "Incorporating Simulation into Medical Education and Assessment" to a crowded audience of some 150 listeners at the Pitt Medical Education Grand Rounds on Friday, July 20, 2007. Dr. Phrampus is the director at the Peter M. Winter Center for Simulation, Education and Research (WISER) and is an assistant professor in the Departments of Emergency Medicine and Anesthesiology at Pitt. He also serves as an active EMS medical director. He has gained an international reputation as an officer of the Society of Simulation in Health Care and editorial board member of its journal. He frequently is called upon for presentations at various congresses, both nationally and abroad. Our Department of CCM is one of the main users of simulation in education and greatly benefits from training at WISER. Many CCM faculty members teach medical students and CCM fellows at this facility.
