Scale your coaching capacity.
Give learners specific communication coaching without living in every room. Inflect helps programs scale observation, reduce faculty burden, and build longer-view communication portfolios from real encounters.
How Inflect Academy works
-
Enter the station
Live OSCE or simulation begins without extra operational overhead for the learner.
-
Inflect listens
The system analyzes who spoke, who was interrupted, what questions were asked, and how understanding was checked.
-
Map to your rubric
Signals are aligned to your program's communication framework, milestones, or custom rubric.
-
Return immediate feedback
Students and faculty get structured results without anyone watching a full recording end to end.
What gets measured, beyond the checklist
- Checklist adherence: Track what was covered, what was missed, and where rubric completion broke down.
- Open-ended questioning: See whether the learner created enough space for a full patient narrative.
- Teach-back and confirmation: Measure whether understanding was actually verified before the encounter ended.
- Empathy and validation: Assess whether emotional cues were acknowledged in a way the patient could feel.
- Interruption patterns: Make interruption timing visible so faculty can see when history quality was likely suppressed.
- Jargon and clarity: Evaluate whether explanations were accessible, not just technically correct.
Why programs use Inflect
- More consistent review: Residents get behavior-level communication feedback far more often than occasional shadowing allows.
- Less observation distortion: Programs learn from regular encounters instead of only moments when an attending is visibly present.
- Portfolio-ready patterns: Communication development is documented across blocks and rotations instead of isolated snapshots.
- Faculty time back: Attendings spend time on interpretation and mentorship rather than routine observation overhead.
