Free Early Access for Program Directors
Practice the conversation before you have it
You were trained to lead a program, teach clinical medicine, and evaluate competency. But remediation conversations are a different skill — and the data shows most program directors never received formal training in them.
ClinicalSim gives you a private space to practice difficult remediation conversations with an AI-simulated resident or fellow — before the stakes are real. Describe your exact situation, and we dynamically generate the scenario, the rubric, and the assessment around it.

The conversations no one prepared you for
You know how to run a morbidity conference. You know how to evaluate a procedure. But when you sit across from a resident who just learned they're being placed on remediation — or a fellow who's defensive about professionalism feedback — the playbook doesn't exist. Until now.
These are common starting points — but you're not limited to them. Tell us the specific conversation you're preparing for, and we'll dynamically build the scenario, the simulated trainee's personality, the assessment rubric, and the feedback framework around your exact situation.
Delivering initial remediation news
The resident doesn't see it coming. They're shocked, defensive, or shut down entirely. You need to be clear, compassionate, and legally sound — all in the same conversation.
Addressing professionalism concerns
Multiple staff members have reported dismissive behavior. The resident disputes every account. You need to convey a pattern without it becoming adversarial.
Communicating milestone deficiency from CCC
The committee rated them below expected level. They believe the assessment was subjective. You need to deliver the message and keep them engaged in a plan forward.
The conversation after failed remediation
They completed every step of the plan, but benchmarks weren't met. This is the hardest conversation because they tried — and it still wasn't enough.
Your situation is unique — your practice scenario should be too
Don't see your exact conversation above? That's the point. Describe what you're facing — the resident's history, the specific deficiency, the political dynamics — and we generate a complete practice encounter tailored to your situation: custom scenario prompt, realistic trainee persona, milestone-aligned rubric, and structured feedback, all built around the conversation you actually need to have.
See exactly how you did — and why
This isn't a chatbot that tells you “good job.” Every practice conversation generates structured, milestone-aligned feedback — the same assessment rigor your learners would experience.
Milestone-aligned feedback
Every response is evaluated against ACGME ICS Milestones 2.0. You see exactly where your approach lands on the assessment framework — not vague encouragement, but specific, actionable guidance tied to the standards your CCC already uses.
Individual moments highlighted
Specific exchanges from your conversation are pulled out with targeted feedback. See where the trainee became defensive, where you missed an opening, and where your approach worked — with concrete suggestions for each moment.
Transparent assessment framework
See the rubric, the communication framework, and the assessment criteria being used. Grounded in established models like Kalamazoo and Calgary-Cambridge — nothing happens in a black box.
Structured session documentation
Every practice session generates a structured report — the same kind of milestone-aligned documentation a CCC would use. When you're ready to bring this to your learners, the reporting infrastructure is already built.
Full transparency into our approach
We don't ask you to trust a black box. Every scenario, every rubric, every piece of feedback is visible and grounded in the communication science your CCCs already use.
Case library
See every scenario, what communication skills it targets, and how it maps to ACGME milestones.
Assessment rubric
The criteria are visible, editable, and grounded in Kalamazoo, Calgary-Cambridge, and SEGUE frameworks.
Feedback methodology
How individual moments are identified, evaluated, and translated into actionable guidance.
Longitudinal tracking
Progress across multiple sessions with trend lines and targeted improvement areas.
Be one of the first to try it
We're opening early access to a limited group of residency and fellowship program directors who want to practice remediation conversations with AI simulation.

From your practice to your program
The same simulation engine that helps you prepare for a remediation meeting helps your residents and fellows practice the clinical conversations they're struggling with — breaking bad news, goals-of-care discussions, error disclosure, informed consent.
Unlimited AI patient encounters
Clinical communication scenarios your learners can practice on demand — no SPs to book, no rooms to reserve.
CCC-ready documentation
Every session generates milestone-aligned reports with longitudinal tracking visible to you and your CCC.
On-demand, not on-schedule
Struggling learners who need the most repetitions finally get them — without consuming 45 faculty hours per case.
