OSCE practice with an AI patient
OSCE stations with a patient who holds back.
Run history taking, breaking bad news, consent and complaint stations out loud against an AI simulated patient. It answers only what you ask and holds back its real worry until you ask for it or the station is nearly over. Afterward, an examiner-style scorecard quotes the question you needed to ask.
15 rounds free (a round is one exchange with your opponent).

An OSCE station, start to finish
- You pick the station. The patient speaks first. You take the history and explain the plan.
- It pushes back, out loud. Answer by voice or type. The opponent follows up on what you actually said.
- You get a scorecard. Your score, the line that cost you most, and what to say instead.

How a session works
Three steps, a few minutes
- Pick your exam and station. Medical school OSCE, nursing OSCE, PA program, PLAB 2 / UK, or a residency mock oral case. Then choose one of nine stations, from a chest pain history to consent for a procedure, or describe your own case in a sentence.
- Choose the patient. Cooperative, vague and rambling, anxious, minimizes symptoms, or hostile, at Easy, Normal or Hard. You can add a hidden agenda. The patient is already in the room and speaks first. Pick 4, 8 or 12 exchanges, or leave it open-ended.
- Get marked. Scored out of 10 on Data gathering, Communication, Empathy & ICE, and Clinical reasoning & safety-netting. The scorecard names the one question you most needed to ask and quotes how to ask it.

Sample scorecard
The question you needed to ask, quoted
“Okay, great. So does the pain go anywhere?”
He had just said it was probably nothing and his wife made him come. You moved straight on, and the fear behind that line stayed hidden until the end.
Try instead: “You said it's probably nothing, but you came in anyway. What's been on your mind about it?”
Free sessions show your score, the bars, your #1 priority and one missed moment with a better line. Any pack or plan unlocks every moment and your next drill.
What the patient will do
- Answer only what you ask. Apart from the opening complaint, it volunteers nothing. A closed question gets a one-word answer; open questions, signposting and summarizing get fuller ones.
- Hold back the real worry. The patient has their own ideas, concerns and expectations and holds them back until you ask an open question. If you never ask, they bring it up near the end.
- Trip on jargon. Medical terms and leading questions get confusion or a wrong-footed yes, so you practice plain words.
- Stay consistent. The patient sticks to everything it has already told you about the timeline, red flags, past history, medicines, allergies and social history, and it never names its own diagnosis.
- Get harder on Hard. One-word answers to closed questions, a red flag mentioned only if you ask for it exactly, a second concern under the first, and frustration at being talked over.
- Ask the bell question. On the last exchange of a station with a set number of exchanges, the patient either asks the one thing still worrying them or tells you what they understood the plan to be.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is this medical advice?
No. It is a practice simulation for communication skills, and the setup screen says so before every station. The patient is an AI playing a role. It grades how you ran the encounter, whether you asked the right questions, more than whether you landed on the right diagnosis.
Is it tied to my school's or exam board's mark scheme?
No. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any school, program or exam board. The examiner scores four areas: Data gathering, Communication, Empathy & ICE, and Clinical reasoning & safety-netting. Check your own program's mark scheme for what it weighs most.
Does it cover physical exam or procedure stations?
No. It covers the spoken part: history taking, explaining a diagnosis, breaking bad news, medication counseling, consent and complaints. There is nothing to examine, so practice hands-on stations with a partner or in your skills lab.
Can I write my own station?
Yes. Describe the case in a sentence, for example a 62-year-old with a three-week cough and weight loss, and it is used instead of the station you picked from the list. You can also give the patient a hidden agenda, such as a fear of cancer they won't mention unless you ask about concerns.
Is it voice or text?
Either. Voice works in Chrome, Edge and Safari; type if you prefer or if your browser blocks the microphone. Audio is never stored. Your transcript is kept for you.
