Chat With Feedback

The Chat With Feedback feature allows you to have an interactive conversation with SimCare's AI about your session performance. Think of it as having a personalized tutor who can answer questions about your feedback and help you understand how to improve.

How It Works

After your session is complete and feedback is generated, you'll see a chat interface where you can:

  • Ask questions about specific feedback points
  • Request clarification on annotations
  • Get suggestions for alternative approaches
  • Explore theoretical concepts related to your session

Example Questions You Can Ask

About Specific Moments

  • "Why was my question at timestamp 5:32 highlighted in yellow?"
  • "What would have been a better response when the patient mentioned feeling anxious?"
  • "Can you explain why my closing statement received positive feedback?"

About Skills and Techniques

  • "How can I improve my use of open-ended questions?"
  • "What are examples of good empathic responses?"
  • "How do I balance gathering information with building rapport?"

About Overall Performance

  • "What were my top 3 strengths in this session?"
  • "What should I focus on improving next time?"
  • "How does my performance compare to my previous sessions?"

About Clinical Approaches

  • "How does motivational interviewing apply to this scenario?"
  • "What assessment framework would work best here?"
  • "How could I have explored the biopsychosocial factors more effectively?"

Getting the Most from Chat Feedback

Be Specific

The more specific your question, the more helpful the response:

❌ Too Vague: "How can I do better?"

✅ Specific: "My empathy score was 65. What specific techniques can I use to demonstrate more empathy in mental health scenarios?"

Reference the Transcript

You can ask about specific exchanges:

  • "Analyze the exchange at 3:45"
  • "What was wrong with my first question?"
  • "Explain the red annotation in the middle of the session"

Request Examples

Ask for concrete demonstrations:

  • "Give me 3 examples of better ways I could have asked that"
  • "Show me what a good summary would look like for this patient"
  • "What would an expert clinician say in that moment?"

Explore Alternative Scenarios

  • "What if the patient had been more resistant?"
  • "How would this approach differ for a pediatric patient?"
  • "What if I had taken a different theoretical approach?"

Common Use Cases

Understanding Low Scores

If a particular skill received a low rating:

  1. Ask why the score was low
  2. Request specific examples from your session
  3. Get recommendations for improvement
  4. Ask for resources to learn more

Building on Strengths

Even for skills you performed well:

  • "My reflective listening was rated highly. How can I use this strength in more challenging situations?"
  • "What advanced techniques build on this skill?"

Preparing for Next Session

  • "What 3 things should I focus on in my next session?"
  • "Create a practice plan based on this feedback"
  • "What scenario type would help me work on my weak areas?"

Tips for Effective Questioning

💡 Tip 1: Start broad, then drill down. Begin with "What were my main areas for improvement?" then ask specific follow-ups about each area.

💡 Tip 2: Don't just accept feedback at face value. If you disagree or don't understand, ask for clarification or alternative perspectives.

💡 Tip 3: Use the chat to connect theory to practice. Ask how specific clinical models or frameworks apply to your session.

Limitations

While powerful, the chat has some limitations:

  • It cannot change or re-score your feedback
  • It provides AI-generated guidance, not human supervision
  • Complex clinical judgment questions may need expert consultation
  • It's focused on communication skills, not medical diagnosis

🎯 Pro Tip: Use Chat With Feedback as a conversation starter with your supervisor. Ask the AI for perspectives, then discuss those with your mentor for deeper learning.
