Labs

Labs let faculty prepare a classroom or skills-lab activity once, create its related evaluations for many students, and track the activity as a group.

Lab Templates and Labs

A Lab Template is a reusable plan for an activity. It defines the profession, certification level, and requirements students will complete.

A Lab is one assigned or completed use of a template. When you create a Lab, EMCE takes a snapshot of the template, creates the required evaluations, and tracks each student’s progress. Later changes to the template do not change Labs that already exist.

Requirement types

Each requirement describes one activity and the conditions needed for it to count as successful.

Requirement	Use it for
Skill	An individual student performing one isolated skill. Choose an Instructor or Peer evaluator and the minimum number of successful attempts.
Patient	An individual simulated patient encounter. Configure patient details, minimum Assessment, Treatment, and Management scores, and any skills that must be performed during the encounter.
Sim Session	A team-based simulated call. Configure the scenario, team size, sessions per student, patient information, minimum scores, and patient skills.

Patient and Sim Session requirements can pre-create skill evaluations for skills that must be performed during every encounter. Those skill results must be recorded before the encounter counts as successful.

Choose Assign or Complete

When you use a template, choose the workflow that matches when results will be entered:

Assign creates evaluations for students to complete later. It can also create Sim Sessions and organize students into teams.
Complete records an activity that has already happened. Faculty can enter instructor-evaluated skill and patient results for the roster in one pass. Sim Sessions cannot be completed in bulk.

Students use a separate, role-specific Labs view. See Working with Labs as a student.
