How a session works

  1. 1

    Pick a scenario

    Browse 100+ clinical scenarios by domain: med-surg, peds, mental health, end-of-life, and more. Each one shows the patient's name, age, chief complaint, and difficulty level. Choose based on what's coming up.

    Read the brief

    Before the conversation starts, you see the patient's persona card: name, age, chief complaint, and three learning objectives. This is the same kind of brief you'd get before a clinical encounter.

    Talk to the patient

    The session is voice-only. The AI patient responds in real time based on what you say. Conversations run five to seven minutes. You can end early or let the timer close the session.

    Get your feedback

    Within about 90 seconds of ending the session, you get a score (1–5 stars) and coaching across four dimensions: therapeutic communication, clinical assessment, humanistic care, and safety and escalation.

    Practice again

    If something didn't land, practice the same scenario again. The AI patient gives slightly different responses each time, so you're not memorizing a script. You're building a skill.

What it’s not

  • A chat app or text-based Q&A tool
  • An NCLEX quiz bank
  • Medical advice or clinical decision support
  • A replacement for your clinical hours

Bedside is for practice only. Not medical advice, and not a substitute for your institution’s protocols.
