Dr. Nathan Shelman was recently nominated by the UK College of Medicine Associate Dean for Curriculum and Assessment to be the representative clinical faculty member from UK at the NBME Invitational Conference for Educators (NICE) in Philadelphia in June. The conference is fully sponsored by the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) and is designed to explore current techniques and best practices in medical education assessment through interactive and engaging sessions. Topics covered in the past have been item (question) writing, standard setting and competency-based assessment. In the recent past, over 300 medical educators attended the NICE conference. Each allopathic and osteopathic medical school in the United States can submit two nominees to attend (1 clinical and 1 basic science faculty). Congratulations Dr. Shelman!
