- The SIMPL mobile app aims to improve feedback and assessment in emergency medicine (EM) residency programs, addressing the inadequacies of traditional end-of-shift evaluations (ESEs).
- A pilot study at a 4-year EM residency program showed that 62% of faculty and 83% of residents actively engaged with the app, providing a high volume of evaluations that included qualitative feedback, although residents were less interested in numerical ratings.
- Feedback from both faculty and residents during the pilot highlighted the app's potential for enhancing educational assessments in EM and suggested improvements for future versions.
