Question 1: What is mockMD?
mockMD is an AI-powered OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) simulator designed for medical students. It provides realistic voice-based patient interactions across multiple medical domains, allowing you to practice clinical scenarios with structured feedback anytime, anywhere.
Question 2: How does the voice interaction work?
Our platform uses advanced speech-to-text technology to transcribe your questions and responses. The AI patient responds in real-time using natural language processing, simulating realistic patient interactions. You can speak naturally just as you would in an actual OSCE examination.
Question 3: What medical specialties and domains are covered?
We cover a wide range of medical domains including Breast Examination, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, Musculoskeletal, Neurological, Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and more. Each domain contains multiple station types with varying difficulty levels.
Question 4: How do I start practicing?
Simply create an account, choose a medical domain from the domains page, select a station that matches your learning needs, and click 'Start Practice'. The timer will begin automatically, and you'll interact with the AI patient using your voice. After the session, you'll receive detailed feedback on your performance.
Question 5: Is there a free plan available?
Yes! We offer a free plan that includes monthly practice credits so you can try the platform. Our free tier gives you access to core features and a selection of practice stations. Upgrade to a paid plan for unlimited stations, advanced analytics, and priority support.
