Getting started

• Introduction to our SCA case platform

  We've built a custom SCA platform which allows you to create, share and practise cases for the MRCGP Simulated Consultation Assessment (SCA). In this article, we'll explain how the platform works and which features are available for free. Accessing the SCA case platform To access the platform, you will need to create an account on app.geekymedics.com. Once you've registered and logged in, you can access the SCA case platform here: https://app.geekymedics.com/sca-cases/launchpad/Featured

• Can I access SCA cases offline?

  Unfortunately, we currently do not offer offline access. A network connection is required to access our SCA cases. However, if you have created cases, you can print these out for offline access. There is a PDF/print button available within the candidate, patient, and examiner instructions.Few readers

AI-driven virtual patients for SCA

• How do I access the SCA Virtual Patients (AI patients)?

  AI-driven virtual patients are available for most of our pre-made SCA cases. You can interact with the virtual patients to practise your communication and clinical reasoning skills (check out a demo here). The virtual patients are for solo use.
