Statement of Need

Enter Exam Room #2 and find Madeline, a 27-year-old medical student with a personal and positive family history of bipolar disorder. She has been functioning well and adhering to her treatment regimen of medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. She shares her news of a match to an anesthesiology residency program and is mindful of the implications that the stressors and intensity of the training can present for her bipolar disorder. Your task is to help her navigate the potential challenges ahead.

The neuroscienceCME clinical simulation platform offers a safe learning environment where your choices determine your path and outcomes, and you can track your progress through the case. An expert faculty mentor will provide content-specific commentary on your choices and help guide you to the correct diagnosis and optimal treatment plan. Learning objectives and content on evidence-based, best practices for the correct diagnosis and treatment will be shared throughout the clinical simulation.
