MyKnowledgeMap at AMEE 

Our team will once again be attending and exhibiting at the conference. We’d love it if you came to say hi! You’ll find us at booth 67.  

We will be showcasing Myprogress – our award-winning mobile app and ePortfolio for workplace-based assessment. Myprogress is used by medical schools and healthcare institutions around the world. 

Myprogress is the world's only mobile assessment app to truly work offline. The app is designed to capture authentic, immediate feedback on clinical skills in teaching hospitals or simulation suites. The mobile app comes complete with a digital portfolio where students can reflect on their progress, and map completed assessments and other evidence directly against your learning framework. 

Using your chosen framework and learning outcomes, Myprogress enables students and academics to measure and manage progress in real-time, take remedial action and plan future learning. 

Smart workflows within the app lets you get timely feedback or sign off from clinical staff. Remove the need for staff to login - just hand them the device to get started.

The MyProgress solution has won various international awards and in 2020 was shortlisted by the Times Higher Education Supplement for “Digital Innovation of the Year”.
