Jacob Carter

Learn By Doing:

CE: Jacob Carter is an educational game for medical and other health professionals and students that uses a simulated medical record to teach how to help a screen and assess vaping cannabis use. 

The game involves a simulated medical appointment with Jacob Carter, a 22 year old patient who vapes cannabis. You will take the role of a healthcare professional , make clinical choices, and experience outcomes based on the choices you make. You will be challenged to:

• Use a non-judgmental approach to encourage open dialogue about cannabis vaping as part of substance use screening.
• Evaluate Jacob's recreational cannabis vaping, including evidence of addiction, other cannabis use, and other drug use.
• Provide health education for Jacob regarding his vaping cannabis use.
• Provide brief counseling interventions using motivational interviewing for Jacob to motivate him toward quitting.

You will complete typical steps of a patient encounter and receive feedback after each step: 

• Review case history 
• Complete an evaluation and brief intervention 
• Make a plan of care for your patient
