Helping 25,000 future doctors learn remotely during COVID-19
Since the emergence of COVID-19, medical schools worldwide have had to quickly adapt to new ways of working, as lectures move online and hands-on training is limited during the pandemic.
Starting today, remote teaching becomes easier for all UK medical schools
We are making CAPSULE, our unique learning app available to all UK medical students for free, complete with 690 real-world medical scenarios to help students continue their education and become better doctors.
CAPSULE is part of a multi-year collaboration between Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) and Ocasta, with the rollout made possible through sponsorship by the Medical Schools Council (MSC).
“CAPSULE's case-based learning helps students prepare to be better doctors, created in partnership with BSMS,” says Ben Collier, Product Director at Ocasta.
CAPSULE is unique because:
Case-based training gives real-world medical examples, which helps teach students the behaviours they need when they become doctors - the investigation, diagnosis, and management of health issues.
With over 690 cases, containing 3,500 questions, the content in CAPSULE has been built up by BSMS over the past 12 years.
Senior NHS consultants and clinicians from all specialities have a rolling process of core review, case editing and selective case additions. The content has also been recently reviewed by experts in medical education from across UK medical schools.
89% of UK medical schools have already signed up, with more than 25,000 students able to continue learning and become better doctors with free access to CAPSULE.
