Select from Student/Resident ($49/mo), Standard ($99/mo), or Premium ($1,990/yr) plans. Standard and Premium include all 32 scenarios; Student/Resident includes 15 basic-to-intermediate scenarios.

Browse the Scenario Catalog

Visit the Catalog page to explore all 32 scenarios by category (Cardiac, Trauma, Respiratory, Neuro, Tox, Peds, OB/GYN, Sepsis) and difficulty level.

Complete Your First Simulation

Work through a realistic patient presentation, make decisions, and receive immediate feedback. Your choices determine the next authored clinical state; case-specific paths can include reassessment, recovery, or harmful outcomes.

Review Your Analytics

After completing simulations, visit your Analytics dashboard to see your performance breakdown, practice progress score, and areas to improve.

Interactive Simulations

EM-Sim's 32 scenarios present realistic emergency medicine cases that test your clinical decision-making at every step. Each simulation includes:

• Detailed patient presentations with vitals, history, and physical exam findings
• Multiple clinical decision points with answer options
• Immediate educational feedback explaining the rationale for each choice
• A branching case with authored patient states that depend on your choices
• Final performance score and competency summary
• Downloadable completion certificate for qualifying passing attempts on paid plans

Performance Analytics

The Analytics dashboard provides a comprehensive view of your learning progress across all completed simulations.

• Overall Statistics: Total attempts, average score, time spent, and completion rate
• Category Performance: Score breakdown across all 8 EM categories
• Weakness Identification: Automatic flagging of categories scoring below 70%
• Progress Over Time: Visual timeline of your last 10 attempts
• Practice Progress Score: Weighted composite score combining performance and completion metrics
• Strongest/Weakest Areas: Ranked lists to guide focused study sessions

AI Tutor

Reviewed-source Tutor — choose a supported case. Responses show intact teaching passages with their case context. Questions outside those passages cannot be answered.

• This is educational case review, not guidance for a real patient. Earlier conversation answers may come from the previous Tutor and have not been validated against this source set.
• A new question temporarily reserves one question from your allowance. If the Tutor declines because it cannot provide a validated source-supported answer, that reservation is released. Checking or retrying the same saved request does not create a new question.

Evidence-Based Clinical Standards

Explore simulations across cardiac and resuscitation, general emergency medicine, and trauma topics. Clinical context and assessment rules are specific to each case.

Cardiac and resuscitation

Practice recognition and management decisions in authored cardiac and resuscitation cases. Review each case's clinical context and feedback; scoring uses EM-Sim's case-specific assessment rules.

General emergency medicine

Explore authored cases across emergency medicine topics. Decisions, feedback and learning objectives are specific to the case.

Trauma

Practice trauma assessment and management decisions in authored scenarios. Branch outcomes and scoring follow the physician-reviewed rules for each EM-Sim case.
