Case of Society for Academic Emergency Medicine

Automating Training of Medical
Personnel in Numerous Institutions

Challenge

As more hospitals joined SAEM, the need for a seamless testing experience was growing rapidly. In emergency medicine, time is of the essence, and SAEM needed a reliable testing solution for their teams.

  • Sustain tens of thousands of active users.
  • Allow a large number of users to take tests at the same time.
  • Store relevant information from different medical institutions in a centralized database.
  • Ensure managers from one medical institution can only see data from their own institution.
  • Ensure candidates can only access the tests assigned to them.
  • Allow students to take practice tests as many times as needed.
  • Allow candidates to take tests when it fits their schedule.
  • Generate reports for evaluating test questions using point-biserial correlation.
About SAEM

Advancing Academic Emergency Medicine

The Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) is committed to improving the care of acutely ill and injured patients through research and education. SAEM supports physicians, educators, researchers, and students through forums, publications, inter-organizational collaboration, policy development, and advisory services.

As education increasingly moves online, SAEM needed a structured way to reduce communication gaps, support learner engagement, manage large-scale participation, and provide a reliable learning experience despite distance learning challenges, distractions, and technical difficulties.

Solution

Scalable Multi-Institution Testing

YouTestMe worked closely with the SAEM team to create a solution that supports 2,000 to 4,000 test attempts monthly and 36,000 users across multiple medical institutions. Each institution has its own administrator, while all employees use the same practice test to prepare for the official exam.

"To support this structure, the YouTestMe development team created a new user role called “institutional admin. ” Institutional admins can access reports and results only for candidates from their own institution, while the super admin can view data and reports across all institutions in the system."

Supporting Your Success

YouTestMe supports testing, training, proctoring, and AI interviewing with expert onboarding and dedicated support.
