Clinical Encounters: Amy

Interagir avec Amy pour améliorer le diagnostic et les compétences d'entrevue pour la consommation d'alcool!

Learn By Doing:

Clinical Encounters: Amy is a challenging, educational visual novel game for medical and other health professional students focusing on the evaluation of alcohol use and appropriate interventions. Within a simulated patient encounter, you will experience the short-term and long-term impact of your clinical choices.

This case is centered around office worker, Amy Johnson, who just needs a physical. In this clinical simulation, you will make choices as Ms. Johnson's primary care provider and experience outcomes based on the choices you make. You will be challenged to:

~ Develop a trusting relationship with Mrs. Johnson

~ Discuss her personal health habits

~ Identify and treat any medical problems you uncover

You will complete typical steps of a patient encounter and receive feedback after each step:

~ Review case history

~ Complete an evaluation, diagnosis, and brief intervention

~ Make a plan of care for your patient

Feedback is color-coded to let you know whether you made the best selection, a less than ideal selection, or an incorrect selection. With the ability to retry a section or continue down paths to see impacts of different decisions, you will learn by doing without causing real-world negative outcomes.
