For medical and healthcare schools
Students practise as often as they like. Every consultation is marked against your criteria, with a coach that explains the reasoning.
Free practice is unlimited. Faculty set the attempt cap on assessed work.

Clinical Reasoning Coach
The coach reads the marked consultation and talks the student through the reasoning behind it. It only runs when asked, so the results page stays quick.
Six stages of a consultation, every time.

- 6Closing and safety netdeveloping
Opening and rapport. Cue gathering. Hypothesis formation. Risk and escalation. Synthesis and shared understanding. Closing and safety net. Each one is rated and quoted back in the student's own words, followed by what to do differently.
Hidden cue
“I'm alright, thanks, just a bit tired to be honest.”
- What this might have signalled
- Possible poor sleep or overwork contributing to headaches and general wellbeing.
- Try saying
- “You mentioned feeling tired. How has your sleep been recently?”
Differential
- Migraine without auraConsidered partially
- Tension-type headacheNot considered
- Headache secondary to stress and lifestyleNot considered
- Medication overuse headacheNot considered
Every plausible diagnosis for the case is listed as considered fully, considered partially, not considered, or anchored on too early, with the question that would have tested it.
How it was built
Six stages of reasoning, in the order clinicians asked for.
A tone a nervous student would not find harsh, from senior clinician feedback.
Three ranked moves for the next attempt, because that is what a student can act on.
The coach's six stages follow the consultation journey clinicians asked for. Its tone rules came from senior clinician feedback. It closes on three ranked moves because that is what a student can act on before the next attempt. Every one of those came from someone who teaches or examines for a living.
Questions
A chatbot answers questions. Our patients hold things back until they are asked properly, only follow the language their character would follow, react to how they are spoken to, and will not reveal the mark scheme. Then every consultation is marked against your criteria with the evidence quoted.
Yes. Build Performance Frameworks from your own criteria, nest domains up to four levels, bundle them into Assessment Blueprints, and publish. Or start from the 121 criteria we ship.
Yes. Students hold to talk and hear the patient reply in a chosen voice. Typing works too. Voice input uses the browser's speech recognition, so it depends on browser support.
Free practice is unlimited. On assessed assignments, faculty set the cap.
