Your patient is a 78-year-old woman with a history of heart trouble. Your objective is to get to know her and learn her medical history. The program dynamically prompts you with questions in Spanish to help you get the information you need to make sound clinical decisions about her health care. If you immerse yourself in the experience, you will feel that you have actually met the patient and know her medical condition, all in Spanish. The interview can last for over an hour and may be conducted, in whole or in part, again and again. Virtual Conversations® logic assures that the flow of every interview you have with the patient will be different. You can practice interviewing in Spanish as often as you like.
