Understanding the AI Feedback
SimCare's AI feedback system is designed to provide comprehensive, actionable insights into your clinical communication skills. This guide helps you understand how the AI evaluates your performance and how to interpret the feedback you receive.
How the AI Analyzes Your Session
Multi-Layer Analysis
The AI examines your session through multiple lenses:
- Transcription: Speech is converted to text with high accuracy
- Linguistic Analysis: Examines word choice, question types, and communication patterns
- Skills Recognition: Identifies specific clinical techniques
- Contextual Understanding: Considers the scenario and patient responses
- Theoretical Framework Mapping: Aligns your approach with clinical models
Evidence-Based Criteria
The AI's evaluation is based on:
- Published research on effective clinical communication
- Professional competency standards
- Expert clinician input
- Validated assessment frameworks
Types of Feedback You'll Receive
1. High-Level Feedback
Overall performance summary with scores and key takeaways.
2. Annotated Transcript
Line-by-line analysis with color-coded highlights and inline comments.
3. Advanced Skills Report
Detailed breakdown of specific communication techniques.
4. Theory Analysis
Evaluation of theoretical framework application.
5. Session Recording
Audio playback of your conversation for self-reflection.
Interpreting AI Feedback
Scores Are Contextual
Remember that:
- Different scenarios test different skills
- Higher difficulty scenarios may yield lower scores
- Scores should be compared to your own baseline, not others
- Progress matters more than individual session scores
Feedback Is Developmental
The AI is designed to help you grow:
- It identifies both strengths and areas for improvement
- Suggestions are meant to be aspirational, not critical
- Even "advanced" practitioners have room to develop
AI Has Limitations
The AI cannot:
- Assess non-verbal communication
- Understand unstated intentions
- Account for all contextual nuances
- Replace human supervisory relationships
Best Practices for Using Feedback
Review Feedback Systematically
- Start with High-Level Feedback for the big picture
- Review Annotated Transcript for specific examples
- Study Advanced Skills for technique development
- Explore Theory Analysis for conceptual understanding
- Use Chat With Feedback to clarify and explore
Focus on Patterns, Not Individual Comments
- One yellow highlight doesn't mean you failed
- Look for repeated themes across the session
- Compare patterns across multiple sessions
Set Realistic Goals
- Pick 2-3 specific areas to improve
- Give yourself time to develop skills
- Celebrate incremental progress
- Expect plateaus and occasional setbacks
Combine AI and Human Feedback
Use AI feedback to:
- Practice frequently between human supervision
- Identify issues to discuss with your supervisor
- Track progress quantitatively
- Supplement, not replace, traditional training
Common Questions About AI Feedback
Is the AI feedback as good as human feedback?
It's different, not better or worse:
- AI Strengths: Consistency, instant availability, comprehensive analysis, no bias
- Human Strengths: Contextual wisdom, relational nuance, mentorship, flexibility
- Best Approach: Use both for comprehensive learning
What if I disagree with the feedback?
This is valuable learning:
- Use Chat With Feedback to understand the AI's reasoning
- Reflect on your clinical rationale
- Discuss with supervisors or peers
- The AI may highlight something you hadn't considered
How accurate is the speech recognition?
Very high accuracy (95%+), but:
- Review the transcript for any errors
- Report systematic issues to support
- The AI usually understands even with minor transcription errors
Can I appeal or change my scores?
Scores are final, but:
- They're for learning, not grading (unless your program uses them that way)
- You can practice scenarios multiple times
- Focus on learning and improvement, not score optimization
Maximizing Learning from AI Feedback
💡 Tip 1: Review feedback within 24 hours while the experience is fresh.
💡 Tip 2: Keep a learning journal documenting insights from each session.
💡 Tip 3: Share feedback with study partners to learn from each other's experiences.
💡 Tip 4: Practice the same scenario type multiple times to track specific skill improvement.
