    Physicians can now evaluate clinical skills using computer-based simulations over a standard telephone. This innovation removes the need for costly computer terminals, increasing accessibility for medical training.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Health Informatics

    Background:

    • Computer-based clinical simulations are valuable tools for assessing physician competencies.
    • High costs associated with computer terminals have limited the widespread adoption of these simulations.
    • A need exists for more accessible simulation methods in medical training.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel computer-based clinical simulation accessible via a standard touch-tone telephone.
    • To overcome the financial barriers of traditional computer-based simulations.
    • To enhance physician training and evaluation through accessible technology.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a computer-based simulation program.
    • Utilizing standard touch-tone telephones for user interaction.
