American College of Surgeons
Surgical Education and Self-Assessment Program, 12th Edition (SESAP 12) CD-ROM (2004) and 13th Edition (SESAP 13) CD-ROM (2007)
Description
Developed for the American College of Surgeons, the Surgical Education and Self-Assessment Program (SESAP) helps surgeons meet their continuing medical education needs through interactive CD-ROM software. SESAP includes 650 questions in 17 specialty categories, discussions of each question, thousands of detailed references including abstracts and web links, and related multimedia (photographs, videos, and narrated slide shows). The software also contains enhanced features, such as: sorting questions by subset (incorrect, unanswered, media, etc.), full-text searching, performance summary, an integrated Help system, bookmarking & notes, and more. After users have completed all questions, they can easily submit their data via the Internet and then print a customized certificate of completion from within the program.
Responsibilities
Hypix Media, Inc.'s responsiblities for SESAP included: strategy and planning; user interface graphic design concept and production; programming; asset integration; obtaining online medical references; processing images; writing all Help text; and coordinating professional compatibility testing. The American College of Surgeons created all the assessment content (questions, discussions, references) and provided all multimedia elements which support the content (photos, illustrations, video, narration for slide shows, etc.).
Testimonial
Belinda Andry, Manager of SESAP & Library Services, wrote the following to Hypix:
Collaborating with you on our Surgical Education and Self-Assessment Program has been an absolute delight. Although you never fail to respond promptly and completely to questions and concerns, your experience, foresight, creativity and attention to detail have really made the whole process very smooth. The committee was delighted with the finished product, and felt that many of your design features really enhanced the educational value of the product. I hope very much to continue the partnership.
