Diversify Your Cultural Competency Training with Human Simulation
Offering health professionals a psychologically safe space to practice inclusive healthcare from virtually anywhere.
Beyond “Checking the Box”
- Many health professionals lack the empathy and cultural responsiveness that’s necessary when engaging with diverse patient populations.
- Standardized Patient (SP) encounters are the best method of simulation to unlock a deeper level of “learning-by-doing” that encourages reflection and change.
- Historically, simulations lack diversity, featuring white, heteronormative scenarios.
- We hire, cast, and train individuals from underrepresented communities who bring their lived experience and insight.
- Clinicians value the encounters and the opportunity to engage in post-session debrief sessions with SPs.

1-to-1 Human Simulation, at scale
- The easiest system for self-scheduling individual sessions with an SP.
- Participants book their own time slots with trained SPs at their convenience (mornings, evenings, and weekends!)
- Real-time video calls with trained SPs of lived experience accessible from any connected device.
- Apply learned skills and engage in cultural competency training with members from the community that changes behavior and improves patient outcomes.
We offer a collection of scenarios paired with a network of professional, diverse SPs for 1:1 practice & assessment in a supportive environment.
Scenarios are written by experienced healthcare experts that address the current needs of students and professionals.
