Platform Overview

Learn medicine the way
you'll practice it

ReasonDx is a virtual teaching hospital. Instead of reading about cases, you work through them — making decisions, ordering tests, treating patients, and learning from the outcomes.

Why this exists

Medical students get plenty of knowledge. What they don't get enough of is practice making decisions under uncertainty — the actual skill they'll need on day one of residency.
Traditional Learning
✗ Read about a disease in a textbook
✗ Memorize diagnostic criteria
✗ Answer MCQs about what you read
✗ Hope it transfers to real patients
ReasonDx Approach
✓ A patient arrives with a chief complaint
✓ You decide what to ask, order, and do
✓ The patient responds to your decisions
✓ You learn from outcomes, not textbooks

A day in the virtual hospital

Every location teaches a different skill. Here's what a typical session looks like.
1
You arrive at the ED
The track board shows patients waiting to be seen. You pick one up — just like a real shift. Each patient has a chief complaint, vitals, and a story that unfolds as you investigate.
Example: A 62-year-old woman presents with acute onset chest pain radiating to the jaw, diaphoresis, and nausea. Vitals: BP 168/98, HR 104, SpO2 94%. What do you do first?
2
You build a differential
Before ordering anything, you think. What are the most likely diagnoses? What can't you miss? Rank your differential by probability and danger. Clinical reasoning starts not with tests, but with thinking.
3
You take a history and examine the patient
Ask targeted questions. Perform a focused physical exam. Each finding either strengthens or weakens items on your differential — just like a real clinical encounter.
4
You order workup and treatments
Choose from realistic order sets: labs, imaging, medications, procedures. Every order matters. The patient evolves based on what you do — vitals change, results come back, complications can arise.
Decision point: Troponin returns elevated. ECG shows ST depression in V3-V6. Do you activate the cath lab? Start heparin? Call cardiology? Every choice has consequences.
5
You get real-time feedback
After each phase, see what you got right and what you missed. Evidence-based teaching points explain the reasoning behind each decision — with links to open-access guidelines and literature.
6
Your reasoning fingerprint grows
Over time, the platform tracks your reasoning patterns — where you're strong, where you have blind spots, how you handle uncertainty. This isn't just a score. It's a map of how you think clinically.

The Clinical Reasoning Trainer

Each case takes you through a structured clinical encounter with multiple phases of decision-making and feedback.
Phase 1
Initial Presentation
Patient arrives with chief complaint, vitals, and initial data. You start forming hypotheses before touching anything.
Chief complaintVitalsInitial labsECG
Phase 2
Order Selection
Choose from realistic order sets. Some orders are critical, some are correct but not urgent, and some are pitfall traps that teach common mistakes.
4–10 orders per casePitfall trapsEvidence-based
Phase 3
Patient Evolves
Vitals change based on your orders. New labs return. The patient speaks to you. Conditions improve or worsen depending on your decisions.

Phase 4
Debrief & Learn
Detailed feedback on every decision. Key learning points, must-not-miss diagnoses, common pitfalls, and links to open-access clinical references.
