#ROECSG23 Keynote Speaker
“Using Big Data to Improve Medical Education”

Brian C. George, MD, MAed, is Associate Professor of Surgery at the University of Michigan. Dr. George serves as the Director of the Center for Surgical Training and Research. He is a national leader in operative performance assessment and is the Executive Director of a multi-institutional non-profit educational research consortium, The Society for Improving Medical Professional Learning (SIMPL). In collaboration with the many institutional members of this group he is laying the groundwork for an ongoing national initiative in healthcare education quality improvement.
With funding from multiple medical regulatory agencies and medical specialty groups, Dr. George’s current research bridges the gap between surgical education research and health services research. This multidisciplinary approach aims to understand the impact of surgical trainee competence on early-career patient outcomes and then use that data to implement new patient-centered standards and processes for surgical training.
