Practicum Script

Advanced simulation program for training of clinical reasoning

Practicum Script is the first simulator in the world based on principles of neuroscience and cognitive psychology applied to the training of clinical reasoning. It is not focused on teaching, but on the reflective learning of the participants and is intended for medical students and medical specialists or in the final stage of residency.

It is based on a game of clinical challenges built from the stories of real patients, in which you will confront your decisions with the responses of dozens of international experts and the best available scientific evidence in the face of complex and controversial dilemmas of daily practice.

- Totally online. Access when and how you want, from the Internet.

- What is known is not evaluated, but rather how it is applied for decision-making in contexts of uncertainty.

- Unites clinical experience with the best external evidence.

- Clinical debate forum.
