🩺 Case Study: HCA Healthcare (Medical Training Exam Preparation)

Background

HCA Healthcare, one of the nation’s largest healthcare systems, oversees an Internal Medicine residency program where residents must prepare for high-stakes In-Training Service Exams (ITSEs).

Challenge

Traditional methods — flipped classrooms, group reviews, static test prep — couldn’t fully support individualized learning. Faculty struggled with workload, and residents lacked real-time, adaptive feedback tailored to their progress.

Solution

HCA Healthcare adopted edYOU’s AI-powered exam prep platform. Residents engaged with Conversational AI Beings and board-style exam simulations that provided:

• Personalized tutoring and feedback.

• Adaptive learning pathways.

• Faculty dashboards to monitor engagement and performance.

Results

• Residents spent an average of 32.3 hours on the platform (ranging from a few minutes to 148 hours).

• Strong correlation (r = 0.63) between time spent and quiz accuracy.

• High-engagement residents achieved up to 85% accuracy on practice questions.

• Topic engagement averaged 82.57%, with improved knowledge retention.

• Faculty reduced prep time, shifting focus to higher-value mentorship.

Future Impact

HCA is expanding its edYOU implementation to other residency specialties. With proven scalability, AI-driven learning is transforming residency education nationwide.
