What is
Shadow Health?
What to show your students:
We recommend playing the following brief video in class:
● 3 minute overview video: https://player.vimeo.com/video/101735331
If you do not have access to a computer and/or speakers, here is a quick
synopsis of the Shadow Health technology:
Shadow Health is a platform for you to hone your assessment skills on
virtual patients. With these virtual patients, you will practice your
interviewing, examination, documentation, and critical thinking skills. Shadow
Health will provide you immediate feedback on your performance. Your
instructor will provide grading rubrics to interpret this feedback on your
performance.
We will be accessing and completing Shadow Health assignments
throughout the semester.

We recommend walking students through how at least one
assignment will be graded. Shadow Health has example
student work you can use for this purpose.
Navigate to the Training Course to pull up example student
work. Have your grading rubric, if applicable, handy and grade
an example student attempt with this rubric in class.
Meet and Greet
Remember to keep in mind...
Shadow Health virtual patients understand a vast number of questions, over
250,000, and is the best conversation engine on the market. To ensure
success when interviewing these patients:
● You have to be very specific with questions
● Sometimes you will need to rephrase your question to get the answer you
need
● Digital patients don’t have a working memory. Avoid unclear pronouns, as
these can confuse digital patients.
Let’s meet Tina Jones!
We suggest pulling up an assignment in class to introduce your students to
Tina Jones.
If you want to practice communicating with Tina in class, here is a script you
