Branching clinical paths
Every decision changes what happens next, so you can practice how evidence and actions reshape the encounter.
Branching clinical simulations
Clinical reasoning isn’t multiple choice.
Work through patient encounters where every question, order, and intervention changes what happens next.
Decisions in context. Feedback with consequences. Progress you can inspect.
Live case previewHistory · 01
A patient is waiting
58-year-old · sudden substernal pressure · 35 minutes
“It started while I was walking upstairs. It feels like something is sitting on my chest.”
What do you do first?
- Gather context
Start with a clinical presentation.
- Make a decision
Choose what to ask, order, or do next.
- Learn from the consequence
See the case respond to your reasoning.
The encounter is the lesson
See where the reasoning changes
Follow one encounter from presentation to consequence. Compare the branches to see how each decision changes the evidence, urgency, and next step.

Human-led case creation
Build the case you want to learn from
You shape the patient story and decide where the encounter branches. CaseRace helps turn that intent into a playable learning experience.
Create a case- Learning goal
You set the learning goal
Choose the clinical skill, topic, and learner level the case should address.
- Assisted draft
AI assists with structure and drafts
Turn your intent into a starting patient story and branching outline.
- Author control
You edit every path and explanation
Review the content, consequences, hints, and feedback before sharing.
- Playable case
Learners test their reasoning
Publish a path learners can explore, revisit, and discuss.
Support at the decision
Feedback that follows the reasoning
Use contextual hints when you need a next step and decision-level feedback to understand the consequence. Skill and topic analytics reveal reasoning patterns and help you choose what to practice next.

What you can do
Built around how clinical judgment develops
User-created cases
Build cases around the learning goals, patient stories, and decisions you want to explore.
Personalized hints and feedback
Get support when reasoning stalls, then review feedback on the decision that changed the path.
Skill-level progress
See which clinical skills and topics are improving and where another attempt would help.
Courses and assignments
Organize cases into courses, assign practice, and follow how learners move through each encounter.
Physician-reviewed official cases
Official CaseRace cases receive physician review before they enter the CaseRace library.
For learners
Practice making the call.
Practice, create, and revisit the decisions that need another pass.
- Explore alternate paths through the same encounter
- Return with targeted hints and feedback
For educators
Teach the reasoning between the answers.
Create or curate cases, assign paths, and inspect how learners reason.
- Connect cases through courses and assignments
- Use reasoning analytics to guide the next discussion
