MedSimAI: Simulation and Formative Feedback Generation to Enhance Deliberate Practice in Medical Education

Understand

Medical education faces challenges in providing scalable, consistent clinical skills training.

• Simulation with standardized patients (SPs) develops communication and diagnostic skills but remains resource-intensive and variable in feedback quality.
• Existing AI-based tools show promise yet often lack comprehensive assessment frameworks, evidence of clinical impact, and integration of self-regulated learning (SRL) principles.
• Through a multi-phase co-design process with medical education experts, we developed MedSimAI, an AI-powered simulation platform that enables deliberate practice through interactive patient encounters with immediate, structured feedback.
