In the rapidly evolving landscape of medical education, simulation has emerged as a cornerstone of effective clinical training. At MediSim Crafters, we're proud to partner with leading experts who are reshaping the future of medical simulation – and few embody this innovative spirit more than Dr. David Kashmer MD MBA FACS.
Excellence in Medical Education and Innovation
As the previous Associate Dean for Simulation and Chair of Surgery at Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Kashmer brings a wealth of experience in both clinical practice and medical education. His impressive background includes fellowship training in Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, Abdominal Transplantation, certification as a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt in Healthcare, an MBA with specialization in Healthcare, and service as a Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award Examiner.
He currently serves as the Chief Innovation Officer and Chair of Surgery & Specialty Medicine for the Illinois College of Osteopathic Medicine (proposed by the Chicago School). Dr. Kashmer is also a Professor of Surgery. He has previously designed, implemented, and improved research programs that comfortably create more than 20 quality publications per academic year including textbooks, peer-reviewed journals, & intellectual property such as patents. Dr. Kashmer is proud to have achieved this with teams at multiple medical schools and graduate medical education training centers.
"Medical simulation isn't just about having the right equipment – it's about creating meaningful learning experiences that translate directly to improved patient care," notes Dr. Kashmer, whose recent publications include the comprehensive Textbook of Modern Medical Simulation (2023).
Leading in Simulation Innovation Through Research and Development
Dr. Kashmer's commitment to advancing medical simulation is evident in his recent innovations. He holds multiple provisional patents for simulation devices, including specialized trainers for cricothyrotomy and lumbar puncture procedures. These developments showcase our commitment to creating more effective training tools for complex medical procedures.
Quality Improvement in Medical Education
What sets Dr. Kashmer's approach apart is his integration of quality improvement methodologies with medical education. His experience in implementing successful healthcare quality improvement projects, combined with his background in trauma surgery, critical care, and both undergraduate and post-graduate medical education, provides unique insights into developing effective simulation programs.
