The Past, Present, and Future of the Total Artificial Heart

Needs Statement

There is a clear need for training healthcare providers on the use of SIMPL (Society for Improving and Measuring Procedural Learning) as a computer or mobile-accessible evaluation tool. Education should focus on how to conduct timely, structured feedback sessions immediately following surgical procedures. Learners must understand the value of direct feedback in enhancing procedural learning and clinical performance. Additionally, educators need guidance on implementing best practices for formative feedback to ensure consistency and effectiveness across the department.

Target Audience

Physicians, medical students, fellows, and residents.

  • Identify a need for an improved total artificial heart.
  • Evaluate rotary blood pump technology best suitable for integration in development of artificial heart.
