Knowledge Informs. Experience Transforms.

Personal experience changes behaviors. One must feel confident they have the skill to apply new knowledge, in the right situations, without causing harm. That’s when their behavior changes.

Process Graphic

This is proven. Military, aviation, business—all use immersive guided learning to bridge the gap from knowledge to action. AliveSim brings this approach to clinical education: economical, scalable, and backed by measurable outcomes.

What's Missing? Learning to Apply. 

Most clinical education focuses on knowledge transfer—Stage 1. Learning how to apply it is Stage 2. AliveSim excels at delivering both. 

Missing Piece - Learning to Apply

Stage 1: Knowledge Building

Traditional learning does this well—but it's not enough.
  • Retention drops rapidly without application.  
  • Knowing isn't the same as confident to act. 
  • No safe place to try new strategies.

Stage 2: Learning to Apply 

Completing the journey means:

Better retention through realistic experience, confidence to apply new strategies, transfer to practice that sticks, and measurable proof it's working.

Driving Awareness & Adoption: CME Use Cases

CME activities use AliveSim to drive awareness and adoption of new clinical strategies. Examples:

Integrating New Therapies

Often physicians have their “go to” options. They experience how to use new options with expert mentoring on when to use them.

Multidisciplinary Management 

Participants interact with multidisciplinary team members to experience how the roles interact in successful disease management.   

Sequencing Treatment

As participants make virtual treatment decisions, they learn through nuanced feedback, the sequencing strategies experts use.

Biomarkers & Treatment 

By working with virtual peers to treat patients with different biomarkers, one understands when to use new targeted therapies.

Incorporating Biologics

Participants consider therapy options in virtual scenarios and experience when biologics are appropriate via expert mentoring.

Recognizing a Rare Condition 

Front line physicians gain virtual experience recognizing a rare condition, referring to a specialist, and participating in management. 

Staging and Treatment

Virtual scenarios enable participants to practice linking appropriate staging to new optimal treatment strategies with expert feedback.

Options with Comorbidities

Nuanced, expert feedback on each decision allows participants to learn how to modify treatment strategies for patients with comorbidities.

Shared Decision Making

Each AliveSim scenario emphasizes shared decision making by design and when needed, it can also illustrate what great SDM looks like.

Actionable Clinical Insights

AliveSim captures thousands of learner decisions, revealing physician decision patterns and how they evolve.

Understand Physician Decision Patterns

  • Physician preferences — what are clinicians choosing before any intervention?

  • Cohort variations — how do cardiologists vs endocrinologists differ?
  • How decisions change — did clinicians' decision making shift within the activity?

How AliveSim Works. Clinicians must recognize all optimal options (green). Some recognize the optimal option on the first try, while others  receive corrective mentoring on inappropriate (red) and suboptimal (yellow) options. 

Example AliveSim Decision Data
Cohort Analysis: Cardio vs Endo

Cohort Analysis and Changes in Decision Making

Clinical Context: Treating pediatric HoFH when traditional lipid-lowering therapies aren't effective. ANGPTL3 inhibitor offers a new LDLR-independent approach.  

What the Data Revealed:

  • Before: Cardiologists preferred bempedoic acid. Endocrinologists preferred lomitapide. Only 37% chose ANGPTL3 inhibitor.
  • Inside the sim: Endocrinology MD/DOs became early adopters. Cardiology MD/DOs initially resistant—but shifted by scenario 2.
  • After: 172-196% relative posttest gain in selecting ANGPTL3 inhibitor in appropriate situations.

AliveSim for Medical Schools

Scale Clinical Reasoning Across All 4 Years

More clinical mentoring is always better... but how do you scale your best educators?

 The Clinical Experience Gap

  • Clinical Exposure Gap: Students want more pre-clerkship clinical experiences
  • Feedback Scarcity: Limited faculty time for consistent clinical guidance
  • Formative Assessments: Need more engaging, student-driven opportunities
  • Experience Gaps: Students miss rare conditions and critical situations
  • LCME/COCA Requirements: EPA competencies & curricular standardization

Solving Clinical Learning Challenges

Student-Driven Formative Assessments. Transform static case studies into interactive clinical scenarios where students make real decisions. Students engage naturally because it feels like patient care, not test preparation, while gaining real-world clinical exposure.

Standardized Clinical Feedback. Consistent virtual coaching at each decision point delivers intensive feedback based on your faculty's expert clinical reasoning. Creates systematic learning data across all students.
