For emergency medicine residents
Get more reps between shifts.
Code Status is a medical simulation game for iPhone and Android, written by a board-certified emergency physician. Each case is a full encounter on your phone: history, exam, workup, diagnosis, treatment and disposition, then a score and cited teaching.
Residency gives you volume, but not every presentation comes through your shifts, and a shift never lets you replay a decision. Here you can run the presentations that rarely come through, replay the calls you got wrong and send cases to the students and interns you teach.
What you practice
Run the rare, high-stakes ones.
31 adult cases across cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurologic, abdominal, vascular, infectious, toxicologic, OB/GYN, genitourinary and metabolic presentations, plus procedures. 8 Advanced cases carry the low-frequency, high-stakes calls.
Replay the decision, not just the case.
Each case is scored on diagnosis, workup, treatment, timing and disposition. Change one call and see how the patient and the score respond.
Check the evidence.
Attending’s Notes covers the doses, guidelines and trials behind each call, with 10 sources per case, linked to the originals.
See how it teaches: free lessons from the cases.
What it is not
Code Status is not ABEM board review or an in-training exam question bank, and it does not award CME. The cases are adult emergency presentations. Every patient is fictional, and it is for training only.
Cases to start with
See all 31 cases8 of the 31 cases are Advanced: hidden dangers, patients who change and resuscitations.
Teaching students and interns?
Send a student or intern the app before shift, then talk through why they ordered what they did. Two cases are free, so anyone can start from your link without paying. Scores are teaching feedback, not an assessment of competence. Tell us what you need.
Play two complete cases, free.
