AMC Clinical · Australia · Coming soon

Rehearse AMC stations with a patient who only tells you what you ask.

Read the stem, then run an eight-minute station with an AI simulated patient or relative who reveals key history only when asked, questions your jargon and reacts like a real person.

A simulated patient or relative, played by AI.

Tips from the marking criteria

  1. 1

    Do every task

    Not completing all tasks in the stem is the most common reason stations are failed.

  2. 2

    Think out loud

    Explain your reasoning and plan in plain language the patient can follow.

  3. 3

    Use Australian practice

    Management should follow Australian guidelines and services, with clear safety-netting and follow-up.

How a session works

  1. Step 1

    Read your task card

    Each scenario starts with a card like the real exam's: the setting, who you are and what you need to do.

  2. Step 2

    Speak with a realistic partner

    The AI plays the patient, relative, colleague or examiner. Hold Space (or the mic button) while you talk. The session is timed like the exam.

  3. Step 3

    Get exam-style feedback

    An estimated score against the exam's own criteria, plus specific notes on what to fix next time.
