FSP simulation: try the history-taking right here

Reading gets you to the door. Only speaking gets you through it – with a counterpart who answers unpredictably. A patient is waiting below. Eight decisions, no sign-up, and you see right away which sentences earn points in the exam.

The trial history-taking

Patient

Try the history-taking — no sign-up

A short case, eight decisions. You choose what you say as the doctor; the patient answers. At the end you see where you would have earned points.

Herr Wagner, 28, comes to the emergency department with abdominal pain. You are the doctor on duty. Lead the conversation – at each step, choose what you say.

How the real simulation works

In the example above the answers are given. In the real FSPkurs simulation you speak freely into the microphone – and an AI patient responds to what you actually said. He asks back when he does not understand a medical term. He only tells you what you ask about. And he has a face: a video patient who listens, thinks and speaks.

What is added:

  • The history form counts live which areas you have already covered – without revealing the questions.
  • All three parts. After the conversation you write the report on the report form, then you present the case to an AI senior physician who asks follow-up questions.
  • Grading by FSP criteria for each part, instantly: intelligibility, register, completeness, grammar – with specific sentences from your conversation.
  • Over 100 cases from real exam reports, drawn at random like on exam day – or chosen by clinical picture.
  • Medical-term repair: the speech recognition understands accents. A misheard medical term is recognised and marked, not counted as a mistake.

Frequently asked questions about the simulation

Do I need a microphone?

For the voice simulation yes – any phone or laptop microphone will do. Alternatively, all parts can also be done by keyboard, for example on the train.

Is the grading as strict as in the exam?

It follows the same criteria: plain language in the conversation, medical terminology in the report and the presentation, completeness, structure, grammar. It does not replace an exam board, but after every run it shows you specifically which sentences were good and which were not.

Does the speech recognition understand my accent?

Usually well. For medical terms there is a dedicated correction that recognises misheard words from the case vocabulary – visibly marked, so you know what the recognition understood.

Can I practise on my phone?

Yes, the simulation is built for the phone – microphone, video patient and form work in the browser, without installing an app.
