VERSAILLES, Ohio, Aug. 6, 2025 — Midmark Corp., a leading medical solutions provider focused on the design of the clinical environment to improve the delivery of care, has worked with The American Institute of Architects (AIA) to offer continuing education training that provides clinical design information architects and designers need to enhance their capabilities and understanding of the ambulatory healthcare space.

The course, “Rethinking the Exam Room: Exam Room Design Insights from a Clinical Perspective,” is a course delivered by Midmark clinical design consultation experts that offers 1.0 Health Safety and Welfare (HSW) Learning Unit (LU) for a one-hour presentation. It provides healthcare architects and designers who are AIA members a high-level overview of how proper exam room design can improve clinical workflow efficiency at the point of care. Attendees also learn how Midmark can partner with and assist architects and designers.

“The course is just one of the ways Midmark can be a valuable resource for architects and designers who work in the ambulatory healthcare space,” said Tracy Timmerman, PMP EDAC, director of marketing, Midmark Medical. “Our in-house clinical design consultation experts work directly with architects and designers to help ensure facility design and room configurations align with equipment and furniture needs, and desired clinical workflows are achieved. They also make sure projects are compliant with relevant accessibility standards and regulations.”

After completing the course, architects and designers should be able to:

1. Identify and describe the needs of at-risk patient demographics who receive care in exam rooms.
2. Identify safety risks associated with patient falls and caregiver injuries in the exam room and prioritize them based on severity.
3. Analyze the efficiency of patient and provider movement patterns and the workflow process during examinations.
4. Identify and anticipate ergonomic and infection control challenges that patients and providers experience in the exam room.
5. Prepare, plan and propose exam room designs that not only meet space requirements but also create a safe, dignified and efficient healing environment for both patients and caregivers.
