The Society for Improving Medical Professional Learning- or the SIMPL Collaborative- formerly known as the Procedural Learning and Safety Collaborative (PLSC) is a non-profit educational quality improvement consortium focused on investigating and developing tools, curriculum, and policy to improve the training of physicians. The collaborative was founded by experts in surgical trainee performance assessment with the initial support of Massachusetts General Hospital, Northwestern University, and Indiana University, and has grown to include experts from around medicial education and assessment. Since initiating the SIMPL trial in July 2015, the consortium has grown substantially and currently includes 115 training programs at 73 institutions across the United States. We are funded by our institutional members and grants. Our passion is to investigate and combine innovative curricula, best-practice evaluation methodology, and state-of-the-art technology to carry out effective educational quality improvement on a national scale.
