The problem

Communication training is hard to scale, and there are no shortcuts.

More learners. Same staff. Practice and feedback get rationed.

01

Faculty time is finite

More cohorts, same staff. Practice and 1:1 observation get rationed.

02

Practice doesn't scale

Rooms, simulated patients and observers cap how often each learner can rehearse before assessment.

03

Inconsistent feedback

Feedback quality varies by examiner, site and session, making fair comparison across a cohort hard.

04

Assessment is heavy to run

OSCEs, marking and moderation consume huge faculty effort each cycle, with little time left for coaching.

How MedAscend works

Built for institutions. Loved by learners.

The same platform serves two audiences. Toggle between them to see how MedAscend works for each.

01

Author scenarios & rubrics

Faculty build curriculum-mapped scenarios, embed their own marking rubrics and define what 'good' looks like, MedAscend never decides the curriculum for you.

02

Run at cohort scale

Self-directed practice, blended teaching, SimCircuit OSCE delivery and IPE encounters all run on the same platform, across hundreds or thousands of learners a week.

03

Assess & evidence outcomes

Transcript-grounded marking against your rubric, cohort-level analytics and exportable evidence for accreditation, moderation and review.

What educators say

Built with, and for, healthcare faculty.

We are privileged to have strong partnerships that allow us to bring forward new methods of training. This is an exciting moment for us at the Arab American University where we can harness this technology to improve clinical training for our medical students.

Dean, School of Medicine, Arab American University of Palestine
