The Case Building Engine is a tool developed by Clinical Tools Inc. that allows users to create clinical cases for a medical simulation app. Users input patient data through an online form, and their cases are then rendered in an interactive app that simulates a clinical encounter. The goals are to help users develop medical skills by creating, reviewing, and interacting with various clinical cases.

Case Building Engine in the Classroom
Goals
Ellen Masterson, MD, Course
Director: Clinical Foundations
Lara Medical School, Sig University
“I had my students use the Case
Building Engine to create cases
about any of today’s most common
medical problems. They worked in
pairs and came up with some
amazing cases. I’ve never seen
students be so engaged. Then they
shared their cases with each other.
I had an instant lesson plan and
they did all the work!”
