Suitable for Physician Assistant / Physician Associate Programs
Aligned with the NCCPA Content Blueprint
Where Future PAs Learn to Think Like Clinicians
Clinical confidence develops through structured reasoning and reflection. Body Interact gives PA students that preparation through PANCE- and PANRE-aligned virtual patient simulations where students make real clinical decisions and get constructive feedback in real-time.

”I have had the opportunity to pilot Body Interact with learners and I was impressed by the depth and flexibility the simulations afford. Because the virtual environment is safe and iterative, students can make mistakes, test hypotheses, learn, and correct course. It is a vehicle for immersive, scaffolded, and safe experiential learning.

Empowering PA Faculty in Every Step
Bring clinical realism, innovation, and interactivity to your classroom, sim center, or self-directed learning.
The Body Interact Simulation Experience
Practice with hundreds of virtual patients who talk, breathe, and reflect real physiological changes to every student decision.
Take focused histories and provide patient education
Conduct full physical examinations with lifelike sounds, observable symptoms and behavioral cues.
Request and interpret diagnostic tests and exams to formulate differential diagnoses
Vital signs change dynamically as the patient’s condition progresses.
Administer or prescribe medications and observe how patients respond — instantly or gradually.
Determine appropriate interventions, from first-line care to advanced therapeutic management.
Get smart feedback after each simulation. Faculty can track student activity directly in the BI Studio (LMS).
”We use Body Interact to help fill gaps within our clinical curriculum. We make sure that students, regardless of where they go on rotations, can experience the same type of clinical cases. Everything is aligned to the NCCPA Blueprint, making it very easy to understand where cases are mapped. Students love it! It becomes another patient for them.
