The Herbert S. Waxman Clinical Skills Center
Educational Support The Herbert S. Waxman Clinical Skills Center The Herbert S. Waxman Clinical Skills Center is a collection of educational activities focused exclusively on interactive, hands-on learning and self-study. Under the guidance of expert faculty, attendees can update their physical examination skills and learn office and hospital-based procedures simulators and standardized patients. Attendance at the Center regularly exceeds 3,000 during the three days of the meeting. The Waxman Center offers opportunities for in-kind support as well. Donations or loans of equipment and supplies are activity-specific and ACP can provide more information on the types of in-kind support opportunities available upon request.

Cardiac Diagnosis with the Harvey® Simulated Patient Using repetitive practice with feedback, this workshop will teach the most important bedside cardiac findings by using “Harvey®,” the cardiopulmonary patient simulator. Participants will be asked to identify which findings require echocardiography and further evaluation and treatment Exposure to 180 attendees during 12 workshops over three days Support Fee: $4,500 Exposure to 404 attendees during 18 workshops over three days Chronic Leg Wound Management Support Fee: $7,500 Participants will refine their knowledge of cardiac auscultation by listening to heart sounds while viewing corresponding phonocardiograms and clinical images in a self-directed learning environment. Basic and advanced-level heart sounds and visuals will be available. Participants will learn to differentiate among major leg wound categories and how to prepare wounds for treatment and know which topical or systemic treatments to use on chronic leg wounds. The workshop will focus on when and how to use multilayer compression wraps (Unna boot), the types of dressings appropriate for a variety of leg wounds, and provide practical tips for the management of venous leg ulcers. Exposure to over 300 attendees over the course of three days Exposure to 90 attendees during 6 workshops over three days Cardiac Auscultation Self-Guided Tour — Basic and Advanced** WIDE AUDIENCE. General Internists, subspecialists, IM residents, hospitalists, and medical students are all represented in the Center’s Audience each year. HIGHLY RATED.
