Firefly is a HIPAA-compliant platform to increase feedback and accelerate learning in residency and fellowship programs
Firefly enables very busy faculty members to provide frequent, timely feedback that is actionable for trainees.
Firefly integrates with EHR systems to automate away the chore of case logging and provides a decision aid in reporting cases for credit in a training program.
With learning curves and live analytics dashboards, we help faculty understand each trainee's current skill levels, in order for trainees to thrive in their optimal edge of learning.
We empower educators to craft tailored educational plans that are specific to each learner's experiences and educational needs, and supported by high-quality, curated, pertinent educational material.
Firefly provides Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) evaluations for many general surgery residencies and and surgical subspecialties. These EPAs are the official EPA micro-assessments from the American Board of Surgery (ABS).
We have launched the Firefly Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of tomorrow's doctors. We use technology and learning theory to accelerate medical and surgical learning, supporting both educators and learners. Focusing on grant support and academic collaboration, we donate the Firefly educational platform to all residency and fellowship training programs at no cost, with the aim of empowering as many learners as possible.
Firefly technology and methodology has been proven across many residency programs and teaching institutions. In order to reach all medical and surgical learners, we have patent protected several important concepts:
If you would like to collaborate and/or use these helpful concepts, please feel free to reach out to us. We welcome research, academic, and industry partners to work together for our common goal of optimizing medical education.
At Firefly, we and our collaborators are committed to improving medical education. We have published several peer-reviewed articles and given talks at surgical conferences, showing how an integrated medical platform helps residents learn better and become independent in the O.R. earlier.
We work with several surgical departments and partners to simplify their surgeons' workflows, improve surgical education, and facilitate research projects.
