Platform Features

How many simulations are available?

We currently offer 30 comprehensive emergency medicine simulations spanning cardiac, trauma, respiratory, neurological, pediatric, OB/GYN, toxicology, and sepsis categories — with new scenarios added quarterly. Premium subscribers get early access to new content.

How long does each simulation take?

Most simulations take 10-20 minutes to complete, depending on the complexity of the case and your pace. Each simulation includes 5-8 decision points with detailed feedback.

Can I retake simulations?

Yes. You can retake any simulation as many times as you like. Your analytics dashboard tracks all attempts, allowing you to see your improvement over time.

What is the AI Tutor?

The AI Tutor is an AI-powered assistant trained on emergency medicine knowledge. You can ask it questions about EM topics, review simulation cases, get study recommendations, and receive evidence-based explanations.

How does the analytics dashboard work?

Our analytics dashboard tracks your performance across all simulations, showing overall statistics, category-specific scores, progress over time, and areas needing improvement. It calculates a board exam readiness score and identifies your strongest and weakest categories to guide focused study.

Can I access EM-Sim on mobile devices?

Yes, EM-Sim is fully responsive and works on desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones. We recommend using a tablet or desktop for the best experience, especially for reviewing detailed feedback and analytics.
