Weekly videos, delivered
Get in touch and the Comprehensive Curriculum videos can be emailed weekly to your learners, in course order. One short video a week, each linking back to its page here so progress and CME still track normally.
Use MV-Ed at your institution
A free mechanical ventilation curriculum your program can put alongside its own teaching — no licence, no platform to buy, nothing for your learners to pay.
Mechanical ventilation is learned at the bedside — standing in front of a real ventilator, with a real patient, and someone experienced pointing at the waveform. That experience is hard to schedule, hard to repeat, and unevenly distributed: a learner’s understanding of ventilation ends up depending on which rotation they drew and who happened to be on service.
The MV-Ed Project exists to close that gap. It is a free, scalable, interactive curriculum, designed step by step, that reproduces as much of bedside learning as a screen can: concise videos that build from foundations to advanced concepts, a high-fidelity ventilator simulator where changing a setting changes the waveform in front of you, and a large library of annotated images from real patients — the screens you would have been shown on rounds, with the teaching point marked.
This curriculum has been in use with great success supplementing excellent local teaching — not replacing it. It is built to give your faculty more to teach with, and to give your learners somewhere to go between the bedside sessions you already run well.
What your program gets
Five things a program can start using immediately, at no cost.
Self-paced
Nothing has to be scheduled. Learners work through the curriculum around their own clinical duties, pause where a topic is hard, and come back to it — without a session to attend or a cohort to keep up with.
Interactive, not passive
The high-fidelity simulator turns watching into doing. Learners work through a structured, case-based curriculum where changing a setting changes the waveform in front of them, so the reasoning is practised rather than only heard.
Teaching material for your faculty
Your educators can use the annotated real-patient images in lectures and chalk talks, and drive the simulator live to illustrate difficult topics — the ones that may simply not be present at any single bedside session.
A low-stakes place to experiment
The simulator gives learners somewhere to try things with a ventilator where nothing can go wrong — to make the change they were unsure about, see what happens, and be wrong without a patient attached.
