Socratic clinical reasoning

Clinical reasoning, taught the Socratic way.

Learners work through real published cases with an AI attending that asks instead of tells. Instructors write the cases, assign them with a code, and see how each learner reasoned.

Cases adapted from open-access literature ยท reviewed by physicians ยท an educational tool, not medical advice.

Case 7 ยท ImmunologyLive case
Attending
A 22-year-old has had four sinus infections and two pneumonias this year. What would you ask for first โ€” and why?
You
The pattern points to encapsulated organisms, so I'm thinking of a humoral defect. I'd check immunoglobulin levels.
Attending
Good instinct. Her younger brother has a similar history.๐Ÿ”“ Unlocked โ€” IgG 210 mg/dL (low), IgA undetectable

How it works

The case unfolds as you reason.

  1. 01

    Pick a case

    Real, de-identified cases adapted from the published clinical literature โ€” across immunology, allergy, and beyond. You get the briefing the clinician first saw, nothing more.

  2. 02

    Reason out loud

    A Socratic attending asks questions instead of handing you answers. History, examination findings, and investigations unlock as you think to ask for them โ€” just like real workup.

  3. 03

    Get a debrief

    When you close the case, a structured assessment scores your reasoning across dimensions, reveals the resolution, and shows the concepts you missed.

For instructors

Your cases, your class, their reasoning.

Turn a case you already teach into a Socratic session, assign it to your students, and read how they got to the answer โ€” not just whether they did.

  1. 01

    Author a case in minutes

    Start from an open-access case report and let the AI draft the Socratic version. You decide what unlocks when, and the diagnosis stays sealed until the learner commits. Test-run it before anyone sees it.

  2. 02

    Assign it with a code

    Group cases into a pool and hand your class one code. Everyone who redeems it gets the pool on their home page โ€” and attempts made there count only there.

  3. 03

    See how they reasoned

    A class report shows every learner's best attempt per case, scored across reasoning dimensions, next to their pre- and post-quiz results.

  4. 04

    Quizzes, generated

    One click drafts a pre- and post-quiz for the case; you edit the questions in place and keep what you like.

Pitched to your level

One case, calibrated to you.

You choose your level, and the attending calibrates how much it scaffolds and how hard it pushes.

Students

Heavily scaffolded โ€” terms defined as they come up, one focused question at a time.

Residents

Structured reasoning expected, basics assumed; pushed on the diagnostic thread.

Fellows

Terse and demanding โ€” edge cases, ambiguity, and the limits of the evidence.
