Flipped Classroom
We pride ourselves on a strong educational mission that is exemplified by our innovative formal curriculum. Maimonides was one of the first EM programs in the country to implement a flipped classroom model for core content learning and continues to be a pioneer in adult learning techniques. Each week, our residents spend time learning in small group settings facilitated by EM faculty on a variety of topics essential to the practice of Emergency Medicine.
Simulation Center

The center uses high fidelity adult and pediatric robotic mannequins and task trainers to improve procedural skills and clinical decision making within an immersive and risk free environment. The simulation center at Maimonides serves as a unified interdisciplinary training center that addresses the realities of practice and patient care.
