MedicomSkills gives you the space to practise with realistic AI patients, make clinical decisions, and get feedback on what you actually did.
No script to follow. No perfect answer to memorise. Just practice.
Start with a surprise. Focus on a body system. Or continue a patient’s story.
Pick a case that fits what you want to work on. If you want a challenge, walk in knowing almost nothing and find the problem yourself. If you want focused practice, choose a body system. Or take a follow-up visit — with a patient you have met before, or one you are meeting for the first time.
This is where the learning really starts.
Take the history out loud, in your own words. The patient responds to what you ask, reacts to how you communicate, and reveals information the way a real patient might. They will not simply hand you the history.
The conversation goes where you take it.
Do not stop at the history. Think like a clinician.
Choose examinations and investigations. Interpret what you find. Form an assessment. Make a management plan. Then document the encounter, or present the case.
Each step grows out of the one before it. Miss something important in the interview and you will have less to work with later. A thin history makes for a thin assessment.
A score alone does not teach you much.
MedicomSkills shows you what you covered, what you partly explored, and what you missed, using evidence from your own encounter. And it looks beyond whether you asked the medically correct questions.
Because you can ask every right question and still have the wrong conversation.
An example. 18 of the 23 criteria this case called for.
Some patients remember you. Their stories continue.
Return for a follow-up visit and find out what happened after your previous encounter. Tests you ordered may have results. Referrals may have outcomes. Symptoms may have changed.
And your previous decisions matter.
If you did not order the test, there will not suddenly be a result waiting for you.
MedicomSkills judges what was relevant to the case you actually encountered. You are not penalised for failing to ask questions that did not matter to that patient.
Listening. Empathy. Responding to cues. Exploring concerns. Understanding the patient's perspective. These matter — because a consultation can be clinically thorough and still leave the patient feeling unheard.
This site is written for clinical practice anywhere, and the clinical framework is the same wherever you train — the same history, the same warning signs, the same reasoning. What changes between countries is vocabulary.
Much of the medical terminology here uses British spelling: haematuria, anaemia, oesophageal, diarrhoea, paediatric. If you are preparing for a North American examination you will see these written hematuria, anemia, esophageal, diarrhea and pediatric. They are the same words and the same findings.
Learning both is not wasted effort. You will read papers, notes and referrals written in both conventions for the rest of your career.
Practise. Get feedback. Reflect. Try again. More practice, better conversations, better care.
