Create and preview scenarios

A case scenario represents a complete end-to-end encounter, and may include interacting with the patient, ordering labs, writing an assessment and plan, and getting AI-powered feedback.

Visit the “My scenarios” page to view your case scenarios.

The "My scenarios" page of the dashboard which contains a list of scenarios and folders, and "New scenario" and "New folder" buttons. Each scenario has a title, date updated, and the name of the course(s) it's assigned to.

Click the New scenario button at the top right of the page to create a new case scenario.

Our AI-assisted scenario creation form will guide you through the steps, starting with case objectives and reason for visit, patient details, and then moving into subjective (history and review of systems), objective (physical exam and diagnostics), and finally rubrics.

The form is designed to collect all the relevant details that the AI-powered patient actor needs to act out the scenario.

During the first half of the form, you’ll enter:

  • A scenario title
  • Conversation mode (Text or Voice)
  • Case objectives (either to diagnose the patient or have a focused conversation) and which features to enable
  • Reason for visit, chief concern, and HPI
  • Patient demographic details
  • Diagnosis and differentials
  • Patient history

The patient actor will rephrase the chief concern and history in their own words.

You only need to specify as much detail as is necessary. For any details left unspecified, the patient actor will make up benign answers that align with the diagnosis.

Based on the diagnosis and other details entered into the first half of the form, our AI system will automatically fill out the second half of the form for you, generating an opening line, review of systems, physical exam findings, and diagnostic results, step by step. At each step, you can review and make changes as needed to align with your vision for the case.

The last step of scenario creation is to choose the rubric that our AI system will use to score and give feedback to learners. You can always change this later. Learn more about rubrics.

The rubrics tab of the scenario creation form. The text reads "Our AI system will use these rubrics to score and give feedback to learners. You can always add rubrics later when you assign this scenario." There's a single rubric titled "Default Clinical Assessment Rubric" and a thumbnail preview. Below that there are buttons for "Create or upload rubric" and "Choose a saved rubric".

Click the Preview button to run a scenario. It’s useful to try interacting with the case by asking questions and ordering labs, to make sure that the case is working as you intended and make edits as needed.

A conversation screen titled "Preview scenario", showing a user mid-conversation with a virtual patient.

Preview mode is designed to let you go as far as you want, whether it’s to try out just a few questions or complete the case and get feedback.

Clicking on a scenario takes you to the scenario overview page, where you’ll find a list of your past preview conversations on the right side. You can click to resume or review a past preview conversation. This list is visible to everyone who the scenario is shared with.

The scenario overview page with sections titled "Scenario overview", "Previews", and "Assigned to". The previews section has a "Preview" button to start a new one, and contains a list of preview entries each with a date/time and name. An icon indicates if the conversation was completed.
