Flexible practice between teaching, placements and assessments
Learners can consult with virtual patients, repeat cases, review transcripts and reflect on their performance.
Virtual patients for realistic consultation practice
Learners interact with AI-driven virtual patients through text, voice or video. Each patient responds in role, so learners can practise history taking, counselling, information giving and difficult conversations in their own words.
Feedback linked to the consultation
Each consultation creates a transcript, giving learners and educators a clear record of what was said. Feedback can be linked to faculty-authored checklists, rubrics and learning objectives.
Built around your curriculum
Use SimChat's ready-made library or create your own cases from existing patient scripts, OSCE checklists, clinical vignettes and local teaching materials.
Scenarios can be organised into groups, tagged by specialty or theme and mapped to curriculum domains and topics, helping educators review coverage and deploy cases consistently across cohorts.
Designed for clinical education
SimChat has been developed by the Geeky Medics team, drawing on experience in OSCE preparation, clinical communication and healthcare education.
Trusted by medical schools and healthcare organisations.
Create, practise and review
Create
Start with a patient script, OSCE checklist, clinical vignette or local teaching document. SimChat helps generate an interactive virtual patient case that educators can review and refine.
Practise
Learners consult with the virtual patient in text, voice or video mode. They ask questions, respond to cues and practise the consultation in their own words.
Review
Learners and educators can review the transcript, checklist results and feedback. This turns each consultation into an opportunity for reflection, discussion and improvement.
Ready-made and custom scenarios
SimChat includes a growing library of virtual patient cases across specialties, presentations and scenario types.
Everything you need to run consultation practice at scale
Faculty-authored checklists
Define the criteria learners should be assessed against for each scenario.
Automated feedback
Give learners immediate feedback linked to the conversation they had and the criteria you define.
Curriculum mapping
Map scenarios to modules, specialties, learning outcomes or curriculum frameworks, including the MLA.
Cohort and access controls
Assign scenarios to specific groups, cohorts or organisations.
Single sign-on
SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect for institutional logins, with just-in-time provisioning so faculty and learner accounts are created automatically. Works with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and other standards-based identity providers.
