Built by the people who run simulation and publish the research.
ClinicalSim.ai is the first AI clinical simulation purpose-built for communication remediation — structured practice with real-time feedback, mapped to ACGME ICS Milestones 2.0, generating documentation your CCC can use.
Communication is the competency everyone remediates — and no one has tools for.

Literature review
When Step 2 CS was discontinued in 2021, programs lost the only national standardized assessment of clinical communication skills. ACGME Milestones 2.0 created universal ICS requirements — but most programs have no scalable way to assess or remediate communication competency. The result: 29-45 faculty hours consumed per remediation case, with no standardized tools, inconsistent documentation, and learners who need the most practice getting the fewest repetitions.
Built by leaders in simulation and clinical communication
Not a generic AI company entering healthcare. A team from the institutions and research programs that define medical simulation.
Vinod Havalad, MD
Former Director of Simulation, Advocate Health System
Vinod designed simulation programs at one of the largest health systems in the Midwest. He brings direct experience building and running simulation centers that serve residency programs across multiple specialties.
Lauren Rissman, PhD
Communication Skills Researcher
Lauren is a published researcher in clinical communication with multiple peer-reviewed papers. Her research background means the platform's assessment frameworks are grounded in validated communication science, not ad hoc rubrics.
Gillian Brennan, MD
Director of Simulation, University of Chicago
Gillian currently runs simulation at one of the country's top academic medical centers. Her role means ClinicalSim was designed by someone who lives the challenges program directors face daily — not by engineers guessing at what educators need.
Ben Conway
Co-Founder & CEO
Ben leads ClinicalSim's business operations and market strategy. His focus is translating the team's clinical and educational expertise into a product that serves the institutions that need it.
Will Meyer
Co-Founder & CTO
Will leads ClinicalSim's technical development, building the AI simulation platform that delivers voice-based clinical encounters at scale.
Structured practice that changes clinical communication.
You wouldn't remediate a surgical skill without a sim lab. Communication deserves the same rigor. ClinicalSim provides structured, repeatable practice for the specific communication scenarios learners struggle with most — breaking bad news, navigating angry patients, conducting informed consent, leading goals-of-care discussions.
On-demand AI patient encounters
Practice specific scenarios 24/7 from any device
Real-time feedback mapped to ICS Milestones 2.0
ICS-1, ICS-2, ICS-3 assessment from every session
CCC-ready documentation
Timestamped, milestone-aligned records for committee review
Longitudinal progress tracking
Demonstrate improvement across the remediation period
Faculty dashboard
Monitor learner progress without being present for every session
Built for every stakeholder in the remediation process
Program Directors
The remediation toolkit you told CERA you wanted
- 20 structured encounters before your first coaching session
- Milestone-aligned feedback your CCC can use at the next review
- No scheduling, no SP recruitment, no faculty observer required for practice
DIOs & GME
Standardize remediation infrastructure across every program
- Standardized remediation documentation across every program
- Costs less than a single PACE assessment
- Every session creates a timestamped, milestone-aligned record
Sim Directors
Extend your SP program, don't replace it
- Assessment data your CCC can actually use from every session
- Practice volume struggling learners need without scheduling bottleneck
- Measurable communication outcomes that justify your center's investment
CCCs
Milestone-aligned data for every learner review
- Milestone-aligned assessment data from structured practice sessions
- Longitudinal progress tracking across the remediation period
- Objective data to complement faculty observations
The institutions that move first will set the standard.
Communication remediation is inevitable. The only question is whether you build the infrastructure from scratch every time, or use a system already mapped to your milestones.
