Transformation in Medical Education

Transformation in Medical Education (TIME) is a healthcare simulation that helps doctors, nurses, and medical students practice patient interviews. The simulation was sponsored by a grant from the NIH.

Users can access different instructional modules via a web portal. In the simulation, they practice their skills by conducting virtual patient interviews in a variety of branching scenarios. After each scenario, users receive detailed feedback about their choices and earn special badges and rewards as they develop their skills.
