Simulated Patient Encounter - Breaking Bad News

Breaking Bad News: Melanoma Diagnosis

Based on the popular courses that sell out at the Annual & Summer Meeting, the AAD brings you Simulated Patient Encounters, new online activities that guide you through an interactive patient scenario. In this scenario you will deliver bad news (medical diagnosis) to the standardized patient.

After watching a brief video you’ll be given a series of options and asked to respond as you would in a real-life case, then watch and see how the patient reacts and receive instantaneous feedback based on your answer.

The purpose of this activity is to get hands-on practice with delivering bad news and experience challenging conversations in a safe and realistic setting.
