OutLoud MD

What OutLoud MD is for anesthesia

OutLoud MD is a free AI simulator for the Royal College (RCPSC) anesthesiology applied exam, the oral component you sit toward the end of residency. An AI examiner runs oral cases by voice so you can rehearse clinical reasoning out loud the way the real applied exam demands, and scores what you say on the Global Rating Scale (GRS). It is a practice tool, not affiliated with the Royal College.

At a glance

  • A free AI oral-exam simulator for the RCPSC anesthesiology applied exam.
  • Built for Canadian anesthesiology residents in their Royal College exam year.
  • An AI examiner, Dr. Campbell, runs oral cases by voice (or text).
  • Answers are scored on the Global Rating Scale (GRS), the applied exam's own rubric.
  • Practice guidance, not an official or predictive score.

Who it is for

OutLoud MD is built for Canadian anesthesiology residents preparing for the Royal College applied exam, usually in the final year of a five-year Competence by Design residency. If you are drilling oral cases, rehearsing how you would talk through an airway crisis or an obstetric emergency, and you want unlimited spoken reps on your own schedule, this is for you. To understand the exam itself, see the Royal College exam explained.

What you actually do

You speak through cases out loud. The AI examiner presents a scenario, releases the next finding based on what you ask for, and can interrupt to probe your reasoning, mirroring how a real applied station runs. When the case ends, you get feedback on the GRS domains so you can see where your out-loud reasoning was strong and where it drifted. See how the AI simulator works.

Honest about the limits

OutLoud MD is a practice tool, not affiliated with the Royal College, and its feedback is not an official or predictive score. It complements faculty mock orals, it does not replace them. For official rules, dates, and fees, see royalcollege.ca.
