Medical students typically spend an average of 100-150 hours in simulation activities during their education, though schools with robust simulation programs may allocate over 200 hours to simulation-based learning across preclinical and clinical years. By immersing students and professionals in realistic, high-stakes situations, educators can bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, enhancing both competency and confidence. PCS products leverage advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to elevate this realism to an unprecedented level.
The NCSBN permits up to 50% of clinical hours in pre-licensure nursing programs to be substituted with high-quality simulation, provided specific guidelines are followed. Consequently, it’s common for BSN programs to incorporate 50-100 hours of simulation per semester. PCS products deliver high-quality, reliable simulations powered by generative AI, equipped with tools for assessment, evaluation, and structured debriefing, supporting both asynchronous and synchronous learning.
A diverse range of simulation equipment empowers healthcare simulation centers to deliver comprehensive, adaptable, and realistic training that addresses the educational needs of learners while promoting safety, competence, and interprofessional collaboration. By utilizing advanced AIs technologies, PCS products create an engaging platform where learners can practice and refine provider-patient communication skills, enhancing knowledge retention and ultimately improving patient care outcomes.
Solutions for Standardized Patient Programs
Solutions for Standardized Patient Programs
PCS digital patients offer learners the opportunity for repeated practice and mastery of skills before standardized patient encounters. They complement standardized patients (SPs) by reducing the physical and emotional strain that could be faced by SPs during complex or repetitive cases. Digital patients can also model rare or high-risk conditions, ensuring SP safety during challenging or potentially hazardous scenarios. They also help fill diversity gaps in SP populations by representing a wide range of patient demographics and cultural backgrounds that are difficult to recruit. Together, they create a more comprehensive and safe medical training environment.
Solutions for Emergency Medical Services

“PCS SimVox actually enhanced the experience for the students. One of the hardest parts for our nursing students is talking to the patient. Now, when they go to the hospital, they feel more confident. They know the skill, now they know what to say to the patient when they walk into the room.”
Dr. Carla Dormeus, EDD, MS, CHSE, CHSOS
Director of SImulation College of Nursing at Florida State University
