James A. Hallock Invited to Deliver Miriam Friedman Memorial Lecture

James A. Hallock, M.D., President Emeritus of the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG®) and FAIMER Senior Scholar, has been invited to conduct the Sociedad Española de Educación Médica (SEDEM) Miriam Friedman Memorial Lecture at the 2009 annual conference of the Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE). The topic of Dr. Hallock’s lecture will be “Evolution of Clinical Skills Assessment: Miriam Would Be Proud!”

Miriam Friedman Ben-David was a leader in the field of medical education and, in particular, clinical skills assessment. She served as Co-Director of ECFMG’s Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA®) program. From 1998 to 2004, the ECFMG CSA evaluated the clinical skills of international medical graduates seeking to enter postgraduate medical education in the United States. ECFMG’s experience in developing and delivering the CSA forms the basis of its role as a partner, with the National Board of Medical Examiners® (NBME®), in the Clinical Skills Evaluation Collaboration (CSEC), which is responsible for the delivery of the United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE®) Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS) examination to both international and U.S./Canadian medical school graduates. Dr. Hallock’s lecture will reflect on the evolution of clinical skills assessment and the impact of Dr. Friedman Ben-David’s contributions to the field.
