Dr. Kalet is known for her leadership in the work of simulation with standardized patients, creating simulations where residents feel safe to practice (and fail) as they learn everything from communication skills to developing and executing treatment decisions. She has also contributed to the creation of outcome metrics in the form of checklists and global rating scales to meaningfully assess learners across the spectrum of training and practice.
