The Shift is a free-form, instructor-led program with unique clinical cases presented in a “Choose Your Own Adventure” type of format.
No Lectures. No talks. Interaction Required.
You will see several patients during your shift, and work through real-world conditions and interactions to deliver the best care possible. You will be given a role for each case, and your patient (and the group) will help you move through the correct decision making. Your instructors will teach you about the critical decisions, and provide guidance throughout the day. Each patient will be unique, and jump off of the screen to immerse you in a realistic day of work in a modern day hospital setting.
