Introducing Scenario, the mobile app:
challenging scenarios for medical supervisors
What is Scenario?
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 the GPSA Shades of Grey cards, a set of challenging ethical and professional scenarios based in the general practice setting. It has been expanded to include a broader range of difficult scenarios, including issues related to communication, 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. When you are ready to access the full suite of scenarios for the category, for a low annual fee you can subscribe following the prompts or by choosing “Subscription” via the Settings menu on the app. Making it even more affordable, can log onto your free account on the GPSA Community platform to find this month’s Member PromoCode. Adding this to the subscription page when prompted will give you access to your member discount.
Equip yourself with the Scenario App today for more robust teaching, and a better medical training and learning experience.
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.
