Adaptive Learning in Healthcare
Adaptive learning is increasingly used in health care education as a way to improve competence, reduce knowledge gaps, expose and address unconscious incompetence, and enable safer and more effective care provision and delivery.
Overall, more than 2 million users in 2022 alone used Area9 Rhapsode as their basis for healthcare education – including physicians, nurses, laboratory technicians, and others, and at all levels from students to experienced practitioners. Included in this group are learners who experienced adaptive learning as part of long-term partnerships Area9 established across the health care spectrum. As our white paper will show, there is evidence of the efficiencies and effectiveness to be gained from a personalized approach that meets learners where they are, establishes what they’ve learned already and what they need to master, and engages learners as they build competence.
