What the phone does

A wall phone learners can use

Clinical work rarely happens in one room. With the wall phone, learners call someone during the scenario, such as the on-call physician, and have a real conversation.

Like the patient, the caller responds to what the learner says and moves the story forward.

How it looks in a session

The phone sits on the wall of the room. Learners select it to make the call, then speak just as they do with the patient.

Example request

Please add a wall phone caller to "Hypovolemic Shock". Role: on-call physician. They know the patient's history but not today's vitals. They're busy and want a short SBAR report before giving orders.
⭐
Make the learner do the work

Ask for a caller who doesn't offer information up front. A physician who waits for a clear report gives learners real practice in structuring one.
