Try your skills in a web-based clinical encounter. One of the first web-based simulations designed for neurology and psychiatry, CSATs provide the opportunity for you to act as a clinician in an interview with a trained actor presenting a patient. Get real-time, personalized feedback on your performance, and see how your actions compare with the recommendations of subject matter experts. Learn more after the simulation with links to peer-reviewed journal articles and videos.
As leaders in dissemination and implementation science, we strive to offer innovative CME activities that allow you to not only learn skills, but practice them in a life-like simulation. Many of these CSATs are paired with interactive learning modules. As part of our sequential learning model, we encourage you to watch an ILM and then try your hand at those skills in a CSAT.

“The CSAT interface was helpful in that it helps me to know the parameters needed for a coherent, organized, initial psychiatric progress note. The importance of efficient time management was emphasized”
“This is so interesting! We do have limited time in the office so it is a great exercise!”
“A great way to practice and apply recently learned information. I greatly appreciate the feedback and format in which it is provided.”
“An excellent exercise. Patient presented a lot of information very clearly, but in a fairly short time. I just didn't absorb it all… a very real hazard in an actual encounter with many things going on.”
“Excellent module — very helpful for reinforcing specific small characteristics which help differentiate often seamlessly linked symptoms.”
