CODE STATUS IS AN EDUCATIONAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL SIMULATION GAME. Your shift starts now. Examine patients, interpret ECGs and scans, make the call and see how your choices shape the outcome. Then learn the medicine behind every decision. Made for every level: medical students, residents, physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, paramedics, EMTs and anyone learning emergency medicine. Built by a board-certified, practicing emergency physician and grounded in evidence-based clinical guidance. TAKE THE CASE Every patient is a new challenge. Take the history, perform the exam, order tests and piece together the clues. Make your diagnosis, choose your treatment and decide what happens next. LEARN FROM THE OUTCOME Your decisions have consequences. Patients may improve or deteriorate depending on what you do and when you do it. Learn from every outcome in a safe, repeatable environment. SCORE. REVIEW. REPLAY. Each case is scored across diagnosis, workup, treatment, timing and disposition. See what you did well, learn where you can improve and replay to beat your best. BEGINNER TO ADVANCED Choose cases by level: Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. Start where you're comfortable and work your way up. SHIFT BRIEFING AND DAILY CHALLENGE Each shift, an attending suggests a patient, but you are always free to choose your own. The Daily Challenge offers a quick clinical question from a case you have completed, followed by a short explanation. HIGH-ACUITY RESUSCITATION Code Mode puts you in the middle of life-threatening emergencies where seconds matter. Recognize danger, prioritize interventions and deliver the right treatments in the right order. WHY SIMULATION MATTERS Emergency medicine requires more than recalling facts. It requires recognizing deterioration, acting on incomplete information and making time-sensitive decisions under uncertainty. Patients can deteriorate quickly, requiring urgent resuscitation or bedside procedures. Code Status includes them, presented clinically, without gratuitous detail and only where educationally relevant. EVIDENCE-BASED ATTENDING'S NOTES Practice first. Learn deeply afterward. Attending's Notes explains the medicine and clinical reasoning behind your decisions, helping you understand not just what to do, but why. More than 250 clinical sources are cited across the library, including guidelines, consensus statements and supporting studies. References are available in the app. Make the Call adds quick bedside questions. A GROWING CASE LIBRARY Cases span Cardiovascular, Neurologic, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, Infectious, Obstetric, Genitourinary, Musculoskeletal and Critical Care emergencies. New cases are on the way. TWO COMPLETE CASES ARE FREE Try two complete cases free, from presentation through treatment, outcome and review. Premium unlocks the growing case library. EDUCATIONAL SIMULATION ONLY All patients and clinical scenarios are fictional and created for education. Medications, investigations and procedures are represented for simulation purposes. No case depicts a real person or clinical encounter. Code Status is not a health service and is not intended for real-world patient care, diagnosis, treatment or clinical decision-making. It does not provide medical advice, hold patient health information or connect to electronic health records, hospital systems, medical devices or Apple Health.
