ISIS will start you off at the basic level of patient management, generating a unique set of patient cases for you to treat. After you successfully treat your first set of patients you’ll be able to access more demanding simulated patient cases. You will also be informed of new patient cases as they are added to the system.
The patient scenarios are organized into modules which cover a broad range of subjects, each containing a number of patient cases which differ in complexity.
