NEW
YORK, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lecturio, the
global digital healthcare education company, announced today the
acquisition of NEJM Healer from NEJM Group, publisher of the New
England Journal of Medicine. This acquisition significantly
enhances Lecturio's clinical reasoning training and assessment
capabilities for medical students and professionals around the
world.
NEJM Healer, an innovative program to teach and assess clinical
reasoning skills through virtual patient encounters, will be
integrated into Lecturio's medical education platform, solidifying
its position as the leading precision clinician education suite.
This acquisition marks a milestone in Lecturio's mission to provide
an integrated, evidence-based learning experience that meets the
evolving needs of medical education and can help address the global
shortage of healthcare providers worldwide.
Clinical reasoning is a core skill for accurate diagnosis and
effective patient management. It involves the cognitive processes
of collecting and analyzing information to diagnose and treat
patients. According to an article published in the National Center
for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2023, approximately 75% of
diagnostic errors are related to cognitive errors committed by
clinicians. Ensuring medical students receive sound clinical
reasoning education is essential for patient safety.
"By bringing NEJM Healer into the Lecturio platform, we are
underscoring our commitment to excellence in medical education. By
combining our resources and expertise, we are even better equipped
to deliver our educators and students a comprehensive, engaging
learning experience that builds the clinical reasoning skills
crucial for patient care," said Stefan
Wisbauer, CEO of Lecturio.
With the integration of NEJM Healer, Lecturio will offer an
unparalleled suite of tools to empower educators to more
effectively and efficiently teach and evaluate learners. The
synergy between Lecturio's AI-powered learning technology and NEJM
Healer's focus on clinical reasoning creates a dynamic learning
environment to foster critical thinking and decision-making
skills.
"NEJM Healer becoming part of the Lecturio family is an exciting
step in its development. We are delighted for Lecturio to combine
their cutting-edge digital teaching assistant with NEJM Healer's
in-depth clinical capabilities, in a move that perfectly aligns
with providing the best possible medical education experience,"
said David Sampson, Vice President
and Chief Publishing Officer at NEJM Group.
