Introducing Scenario, the mobile app:
challenging scenarios for medical supervisors
What is Scenario?
Equip yourself with the Scenario App today for more robust teaching, and a better medical training and learning experience.
Scenario is a mobile app providing medical supervisors with a library of challenging scenarios for engaging learning!
It’s the perfect tool for educators and supervisors of medical students, junior doctors and GP trainees.
The Scenario app was adapted from much-loved GPSA flashcard resources such as Shades of Grey ethical dilemmas and Communication Skills, expanded to incorporate a broader range of challenging scenarios relating to professionalism, tricky consultations and clinical conundrums.
Scenario is free to download and comes with five flashcards for each topic, each of which you can continue to use. To benefit from the full suite of scenarios for the GP category and the new teaching interface with the ScenarioEd app, for a low annual fee you can subscribe following the prompts or by choosing “Subscription” via the Settings menu on the app.
How does it work?
Scenario is an app for use on your mobile phone.
The scenarios are presented as flashcards under a growing number of categories including General Practice, Emergency Medicine and Paediatrics. The randomly selected scenario raises one or more questions, challenging the learner to apply their knowledge while teasing out the possibilities with their medical supervisor.
There are no answers provided, inviting robust discussion and investigation of a wide variety of considerations. This has the added benefit of making the app as applicable to the Australian context as to any other part of the world.
How can it help educators?
- Perfect for educators and supervisors wanting to expand their teaching resources – when coupled with the learner-facing ScenarioEd app, SCENARIO becomes the learner’s digital log book and an assessment/teaching plan for the educator.
- It gives you ready access to a best practice education tool when you step out of a trciky consult of your own and need to snap into teaching mode.
- Follow the prompts and start using it within minutes.
