Code Status vs Run the Board

CODE STATUS IS AN EDUCATIONAL EMERGENCY MEDICINE SIMULATION. Step into the emergency department and take on realistic, interactive patient cases. Examine patients, interpret ECGs and imaging, make treatment decisions and see how your choices shape the outcome. Designed for Medical Students, Residents, Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Paramedics, EMTs and other Medical Learners. Created by a Board-Certified Practicing Emergency Physician and grounded in evidence-based clinical guidance. TAKE THE CASE Meet a patient with an unknown diagnosis. Take a history, perform an exam, order and interpret tests, commit to a diagnosis, treat the patient and decide what happens next. LEARN FROM THE OUTCOME Patients may improve or deteriorate based on your decisions. Learn from missed diagnoses, delayed recognition and treatment decisions in a safe, repeatable environment. Review the outcome, understand what happened and try another approach. SCORE. REVIEW. REPLAY. Each case is scored across diagnosis, testing, treatment, timing and disposition. Scores are structured educational feedback on what you did well and where you can improve. Replay cases, try different approaches and build confidence. 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.

Run the Board simulates the ABEM Certifying Exam. An AI examiner runs you through realistic cases, adapts to your clinical decisions in real time, and scores you against ABEM's published criteria. ALL 8 CASE TYPES Every case type on the new Certifying Exam: - Clinical Decision-Making - Prioritization - Reassessment - Difficult Conversations - Managing Conflict - Patient-Centered Communications - Procedures - Ultrasound BUILT FOR THE NEW FORMAT Clinical Decision-Making runs as a structured discussion, not a resuscitation drill. Cases open undifferentiated. You commit to a differential before any result is released, say what each test rules in or out, and justify your management. The examiner asks why, not just what. AI EXAMINER Each case pairs you with an examiner that presents a new patient, responds to your workup, introduces complications, and probes your reasoning. It never confirms, corrects, or hints. Mistakes show up in the patient's course, the way they do on exam day. REAL ULTRASOUND CLIPS POCUS video across cardiac, FAST, aorta, biliary, renal, DVT, lung, IVC, soft tissue, OB/GYN, ocular, and procedural guidance. You explain the study to a standardized patient, choose your own views, and interpret real pathology on screen. At least one image comes back suboptimal and you have to name the fix. 12-LEAD EKGs STEMI, NSTEMI, arrhythmias, heart blocks, PE, hyperkalemia, and more. Tap for full screen, pinch to zoom, examine each lead. EKGs update dynamically after treatment. PROCEDURE CASES Perform the procedure step by step and hear what you encounter after each one. Indications, consent with the patient, technique, complications, and post-procedure care. ABEM SCORE REPORTS Every case is scored against criteria drawn from ABEM's published standards for that case type. Clinical Decision-Making scores 9 domains. Communication cases score 5 to 6. Ultrasound scores 3. Each rated Excellent, Competent, Developing, or Needs Improvement. MOCK EXAM Full-length simulation in the Certifying Exam format. 4 Clinical Care cases at 15 minutes, then 6 Communication and Procedure cases at 10 minutes. Hard timers, structured debriefs, full performance summary. VOICE INPUT Speak your responses instead of typing. On-device transcription via WhisperKit with medical terminology support. Audio never leaves your device. QUICK ACTIONS A categorized panel of common orders, labs, imaging, exam steps, and communication phrases. Chips adapt to each case type.
