About
Dr. Kimberly Khoury is a leading medical education researcher whose work bridges the historical ideals of clinical training with modern simulation technology. Her most cited paper (60 citations) reexamines Abraham Flexner’s century-old call for bedside teaching, arguing that technology-enhanced patient simulation can fulfill this vision earlier in preclinical curricula. This contribution challenges traditional sequencing of medical school, proposing that students can develop clinical reasoning and empathy through immersive simulation before entering hospital wards. Beyond this landmark work, Dr. Khoury’s research focuses on curriculum design, the integration of humanities into medical training, and the use of virtual patients to foster diagnostic skills. Her scholarship has influenced how educators balance scientific rigor with compassionate care, earning recognition for advancing pedagogical innovation. By reimagining Flexner’s principles for the 21st century, Dr. Khoury has shaped a generation of physicians better prepared for the complexities of modern practice. Her work continues to inspire dialogue on the role of technology in preserving the humanistic core of medicine.
