Code Status

Play like it matters.

The patient room: room, name, and vitals across the top, the patient in bed, and the History, Exam, Workup, Treatment, and Diagnosis dock along the bottom.

Emergency medicine,
simulated.

The patient is yours. Make the call.

Make the call. See what happens.

Six steps. Every patient.

Serious medicine. Actually fun to play. Every case follows the same rhythm, so you can focus on the patient, your decisions and what happens next.

The workup sheet with bedside, labs, and imaging tabs. A 12-lead ECG and a point-of-care cardiac ultrasound are selected.
The assessment sheet, listing aortic dissection, GERD, pericarditis, pulmonary embolism, and STEMI as the differential to commit to.

Clinical judgment, played out.

The patient reacts to what you do.

Megan Bennett resting comfortably in an emergency department bed, the cellulitis on her forearm clearly red.
Stable

When to stop testing, and the right disposition. Nothing arrives to rescue you from the decision.

Maya Chen looking frightened and short of breath on nasal cannula as her deep vein thrombosis becomes something worse.
Evolving

She looks well enough to go home. She does not stay that way.

Walter Higgins in cardiac arrest: a mechanical compression device running on his chest while gloved hands ventilate him with a bag-valve mask.
Code Mode

Compressions, cycles, and a cause you have to find while the clock runs.

A shoulder radiograph with the dislocated humeral head circled, sitting forward and below the glenoid.
Procedure Mode

Some problems you fix with your hands.

Read the film, sedate, and reduce.

The case complete screen: 87 out of 100, rated Outstanding, with the score broken down across diagnosis, workup, treatment, timing, and disposition.
The clinical record: fifteen cases completed, split into outstanding, strong, and foundational, with fourteen recognitions earned.

Score it. Replay it. Beat your best.

The medicine is real. The patient is not. The consequences are yours. Every decision shapes what happens next, your score and your debrief. Try a different approach and see where it leads. Only your best run counts. Your record follows you.

Attending’s Notes

Play first.
Learn deeply afterward.

After each case, Attending’s Notes breaks down what mattered, the reasoning behind it, and what to carry forward. Then Make the Call adds fast bedside questions that lock in the lesson.

10 cited sources per case, linked to the originals.

The Attending's Notes teaching deck, open on a lesson about recognizing anterior STEMI from the 12-lead.

Who it is for

Clinicians and medical learners.

For individuals

Medical students, residents, physicians, nurses, PAs, NPs and paramedics. Work a case at your own pace, commit to a call and review what mattered afterward. Two cases are free, every case can be replayed and your progress follows your account.

For educators

Send a learner into a case, then discuss the decisions they made. The library covers core emergency presentations and every case closes with sourced teaching you can review together. Scores are case-specific teaching feedback, not an assessment of competence.
