By default, the modules in our prebuilt courses are set up as Mini Cases.

Instead of starting a session from a blank slate, a mini case drops the student right into a clinically significant moment. The virtual client kicks off the simulation with a specific opening disclosure; for example, bringing up a family conflict, admitting to a relapse, or expressing an ethical dilemma.

We designed it this way because it allows for shorter, highly focused simulation sessions. It also guarantees that students get the opportunity to practice specific, in-the-moment skills, rather than spending the whole simulation just trying to build initial rapport.

Want the full experience? If you'd prefer your students to practice an entire session from start to finish (beginning with a standard greeting and uncovering the client's issues organically) you can easily substitute any mini case with the Full Case version.
