About The MV-Ed Project
A free, carefully designed mechanical ventilation curriculum built to bring the bedside to learners wherever they are.
Mechanical ventilation is learned at the bedside — standing in front of a real ventilator, with a real patient, and someone experienced pointing at the waveform. That experience is hard to schedule, hard to repeat, and unevenly distributed: a learner’s understanding of ventilation ends up depending on which rotation they drew and who happened to be on service.
The MV-Ed Project exists to close that gap. It is a free, scalable, interactive curriculum, designed step by step, that reproduces as much of bedside learning as a screen can: concise videos that build from foundations to advanced concepts, a high-fidelity ventilator simulator where changing a setting changes the waveform in front of you, and a large library of annotated images from real patients — the screens you would have been shown on rounds, with the teaching point marked.
Everything is free and open to anyone: medical students, residents, fellows, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, respiratory therapists, and practicing clinicians. Physicians can also claim 11.25 CME credits through Indiana University at no cost. There is nothing to buy, at any point.
This project is supported by the generous Dexter Fellowship Grant from the Indiana University School of Medicine, whose funding makes it possible to keep the entire curriculum free and open.
Meet your instructor
Dr. Daniel Rozenbaum is an enthusiastic Intensivist and dedicated medical educator currently serving as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine at Indiana University. He earned his MD from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and completed his postgraduate training with an Internal Medicine residency at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and a Critical Care Medicine Fellowship at Stanford University.
His passion for medical education stems from a firm commitment to open access learning—making specialized knowledge available to all who seek it. He strongly believes medical education is best delivered at the bedside. Dr. Rozenbaum develops curricula and materials to convey the bedside experience to learners wherever they may be. He teaches mechanical ventilation to a wide variety of learners and is known for making complex topics easy to understand by identifying each small step in reasoning to get from foundations to advanced concepts.
His dedication to clinical medicine and teaching has been recognized with multiple awards, including the Dexter Fellowship (Indiana University, 2026), Outstanding Off-Service Teaching Faculty of the Year (Indiana University, 2025), Fellow of the Year (Stanford, 2023–2024), and Resident of the Year (Cleveland Clinic, 2021–2022).
