The context

Training that includes everyone, not just the clinicians

Clínica Asunción is a Basque-Country hospital that, like most, has to keep its staff trained on the things that matter most to patients. Traditional in-hospital training tends to split people up by role — doctors here, nursing there, auxiliaries somewhere else — and to teach them with fairly passive methods: a talk, a slideshow, a handout. Clínica Asunción chose to do the opposite: train the whole organisation, actively, on the skills everyone shares.

The training reached seven different roles — medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, administrative staff, nursing auxiliaries, porters and cleaning staff — with cases tailored to the protocols of Osakidetza, the Basque Health Service.

Some skills can't be taught with a slideshow.

Effective communication and the detection of gender-based violence don’t come from a handout — they live entirely in the conversation: reading a subtle signal, asking the right question without alarming the patient, handling a delicate exchange under pressure. Passive training rarely builds those reflexes, and it almost never lets staff actually practise them.

Clínica Asunción ran the training in two editions on the MetaMedicsVR AI Platform, where staff practise real conversations with AI virtual patients instead of sitting through a lecture.

First edition · 2025

Effective communication

Over 70 professionals trained, across every role in the hospital.

Second edition · 2026

Detecting gender-based violence

Over 50 professionals trained.

The AI Platform

The protocol stops being theory: it gets executed, assessed and improved.

Why it matters

Proof of whole-hospital, active learning — twice over

This is the first case to show active, conversational learning applied across an entire hospital — every role, not just the clinical ones — and the fact that it ran for a second edition the following year is the strongest proof there is that it worked. It shows how the AI Platform scales beyond the classroom and into the day-to-day of a working organisation.
