Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Atrium?

Atrium is a medical learning game where you solve patient cases to build diagnostic and clinical decision-making skills. It's designed to help you think like a doctor through daily, case-based practice.

Who is Atrium for?

Atrium is for anyone who wants to improve their clinical reasoning — from medical students to experienced doctors. It’s not tied to any specific exam or curriculum.

How does scoring work in Atrium?

You’re scored based on how accurately you diagnose and manage each case. Your goal is to make correct, efficient, and safe decisions — just like in real life.

How many cases can I play per day?

You can play up to 5 free cases per day. If you want to go beyond that, you can subscribe or unlock more using in-game coins.

What do I get after completing a case?

Each case ends with a structured breakdown of key learnings, pitfalls to avoid, and flashcards for review — helping you retain and apply what you've learned.

What are streaks and how do they work?

If you solve at least one case a day, you maintain a streak. Longer streaks earn trophies, coins, and XP. Miss a day, and your streak resets — unless you’ve used a Streak Freeze.

What are trophies and how do I earn them?

Trophies are awarded for consistent streaks, mastering specialties, and hitting key milestones. They’re a mark of your clinical progress and commitment.

How does the level system work?

You level up by solving more cases and earning trophies. You’ll progress through medical ranks starting as an Intern, eventually becoming a Super Specialist as you consistently play and improve.

Can I compete with others?

Yes. Atrium includes weekly leagues where you’re ranked based on XP earned. Top performers move up, while others drop down — like a season-based leaderboard.

How is Atrium different from MCQ apps?

Atrium isn’t about choosing the best option from a list. It simulates real clinical reasoning — reading a case, ordering tests, making a diagnosis, and managing a patient. It’s immersive, fast-paced, and built for skill-building.
