Patient Case Simulator (PCS) electronic patient simulation application
The Patient Case Simulator evaluates student diagnostic reasoning skills by electronically presenting a simulated patient scenario. Based on the patient's chief complaint, students conduct a virtual physical examination, order tests and imaging, create a diagnosis list, and recommend a treatment plan. Students can navigate freely between sections of the simulation, and each section can be customized to show feedback as they proceed.
