EMS Announces Approval by Association of American Medical Colleges
The last several months have brought exciting news from healthcare simulation vendor Education Management Solutions (EMS). As an industry leader in the clinical simulation field, EMS is constantly making strides to increase the effectiveness and push the boundaries of healthcare education. A key indicator of this continuous improvement process is the official recognition of EMS’ Competency.AI solution as a preferred Curriculum Inventory (CI) and benchmarking tool by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).
AAMC Adds EMS Competency.AI as Recommended Tool
The AAMC Curriculum Inventory (CI) serves as the premier benchmarking and reporting standard for content, structure, delivery, and assessment of medical school curricula throughout the United States. Reports from CI help participating institutions calibrate their curricula, understand trends, and provide data to AAMC to develop and sustain curriculum and program accreditation standards.

“According to AAMC, EMS is the first company to achieve CI Approved Vendor status in less than six months. We feel very proud to hear that,” shared Senthamarai Kannan Ayyakkannu, EMS Senior Vice President of Software Development. “This shows the technical capabilities of the EMS team and ensures the Competency.AI curriculum management module fully aligns with AAMC requirements and customer expectations.”
The certification of EMS’ CI solution, Competency.AI, was approved in record time for any AAMC vendor applicant, as EMS was fully compliant with AAMC’s exacting technical data and interoperability standards. EMS is an approved vendor participant and joins an exclusive list of providers committed to the CI standards to support AAMC-accredited medical colleges and institutions.
“Removing education silos to facilitate visibility and ROI across healthcare curricula is a key focus for EMS,” added Matt Merino, CEO of Education Management Solutions. “The selection by AAMC deepens the collaboration across our healthcare partners as we work together to create a scalable, highly skilled workforce.”
