How a case is played

No multiple choice questions: a patient, a ward room, a consulting room or a counter, and your decisions.

  • You question them

    Out loud or in writing. The patient answers in their own words, and only tells what they are asked.

  • You examine them

    Auscultation, palpation, neurological examination: you choose what to examine, and the finding follows what you look for.

  • You decide

    Tests, treatments, procedures: the nurse carries out your orders, and the patient responds.

  • You understand

    The debrief goes back over each decision with its reason, and your weak points become practice missions.
