A program of DxR Development Group

Learn how clinicians think.

DxR Academy gives middle school and high school students a real medical education experience — including students who only discover an interest in medicine after a course or a camp begins.

The work is the reasoning: what you ask, what you notice, and what you would do next.

Who this is for

The program is for students who want the science to be real, and for the parents and educators who help them get there. You can arrive already interested. You can also find the interest halfway through.

Middle school

You do not need a career picked out. If you like science, mysteries, or figuring out what someone is actually saying, you can start here.

High school

AP science helps. It is not a ticket in. The courses ask you to interview, organize a case, and explain your reasoning in plain language.

Early pre-health

If you are already looking at medicine, nursing, or a physician assistant path, the cases are the same kind of work: a symptom, more than one explanation, and a next step you can defend.

What you actually practice

Ask before you name it

Clinicians do not start with a diagnosis. They start with questions about onset, location, timing, and what changes the symptom.

Organize the story

SOAP — Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan — is how a team writes down what the patient says, what was observed, what they think, and what they would do next.

Hold more than one idea

A careful assessment is a short list of possibilities, not a guess you have to defend. Good students say what would change their mind.

Practice on cases

Tier 2 courses follow five common symptoms. Specialist and Practitioner students then practice those decisions in DxRHarmony.ai.

Use AI without hiding behind it

An optional prompting introduction shows how AI tools appear in healthcare education. The point is to test a question, not to borrow an answer.

A certificate of the work

Finishing a package earns a personalized certificate. It records the practice. It is not a strategy for an application.

Three tiers, one way of thinking

Tier 1

Foundation

How to organize a clinical problem, and how to interview. Every package starts here.

Tier 2

Pathophysiology and symptom patterns

Five courses, each built around a symptom clinicians meet again and again. Explorer includes one of them. Specialist and Practitioner include all five.

Tier 3

Simulation practice

After the courses, students in the Specialist and Practitioner packages practice with virtual patients. The product name is DxRHarmony.ai.

  • Optional introduction to AI prompting
  • One Tier 2 course: DxR 102 Abdominal Pain
  • A personalized certificate when you finish

A first course in clinical reasoning. Explorer does not include the Tier 3 simulation software.

Specialist

Build deeper knowledge.

For students ready to connect the foundation courses with every symptom course, plus a limited chance to practice on virtual patients.

  • All Tier 1 courses
  • Optional introduction to AI prompting
  • All five Tier 2 courses
  • Limited access to DxRHarmony.ai
  • A certificate when you finish

You choose one track inside DxRHarmony.ai. Specialist access is for exploration, not unlimited practice.

Practitioner

Go all in.

The full curriculum and unrestricted simulation practice for students who want to stay with the cases.

  • All Tier 1 courses
  • Optional introduction to AI prompting
  • All five Tier 2 courses
  • Full access to one track in DxRHarmony.ai
  • The complete certification track

Same choice of track as Specialist: DxRHarmony.ai. Practitioner is the unrestricted version of that one track.

2027 camps

Dates are coming soon. We will post them in the next few weeks. A camp is a live workshop: you interview, organize a case, and explain a decision out loud.
