Traditional learning of diagnostic skills relies on predictable patterns, leading questions, or unrealistic simulations with low fidelity. Alternatively, teaching approaches to symptoms through a lecture format tends to devolve into complex pathways and lists of conditions, which is not reflective of the heuristic-based approach used in real life.

Small group tutorials are better, but they do not adequately reflect the situation on the ground: real-life constraints imposed by limited time and resources means high-value actions need to be performed first. In the ends, a lot of doctors learn on the ground, during their night calls, making mistakes along the way and sometimes not being aware.

i3 Simulations’ diagnosis training simulations, like Hypotensive Shock pictured, provide a risk-free opportunity for learners to hone their clinical acumen under realistic conditions with feedback at the end, serving as a bridge between theory and learning on the job.
