Patient Encounter Simulator

Practice the conversation before you have it.

What is the Patient Encounter Simulator?

The Patient Encounter Simulator lets clinicians practice patient communication and history-taking through simulated encounters. A patient persona presents with a chief complaint, and the clinician practices eliciting the key history.

How it works

A simulated patient presents with an opening statement and chief complaint. The clinician practices asking questions, and the case reveals key history points and exam findings. The case includes the diagnosis and learning points for self-assessment.

Why it matters

Communication and history-taking are core clinical skills, but they’re hard to practice without a real patient. The simulator provides a safe space to build these skills, especially for students and trainees.
