Virtual Patient Simulation
Practice on Virtual Patients Before Real Ones
Simulations That Fit How You Teach
Our virtual patient simulation is built to work hand-in-hand with Dental Assisting U Training Modules & Quizzes, or to plug seamlessly into your existing curriculum. Instructors can use it to turn lessons into case-based discussions, assign simulations for independent practice, and quickly review how each student handled the case. These can be assigned as homework or discussed in groups.
-
Our virtual patients include medical histories, chief complaints, images, and X-rays, so students learn to think through a visit the same way they would in an actual dental office.
-
Students build confidence by recording conditions, existing restorations, and findings in a realistic chart, giving students repetition before they ever touch a live patient record.
-
Students learn what to chart, what to tell the dentist, and what should happen next in the appointment, so they learn to think a few steps ahead instead of just reacting or memorizing answers.
-
Analytics are provided for each virtual patient so students see where they did well, what they missed, and exactly where to focus their next round of practice.
