How the preparation is built
Foreign doctors and dentists rarely fail the BI-toets for lack of medicine. They fail on Dutch practice: which guideline applies, where the general practitioner's responsibility ends, how the conversation goes in Dutch. That is what this was built for.
Every answer can be traced to a guideline
Every question bank explains a wrong answer. Being able to check what that explanation rests on is rarer. With us it takes two steps.
- A theory card inside the test. One fact per card. "WGBO: retention period of the file" is a card, "WGBO" is not. It opens over the question, so you never have to leave the test to read it.
- The official guideline underneath it. For general practice the NHG-Standaard, for dentistry the KIMO guideline, named and linked so you can read the source yourself.
Each question also shows when it was last reviewed. The whole bank went through a cross-check that marks questions green, orange or red. What came out red was rewritten. We show that provenance; most banks keep it in house.
One memory, from A0 to medical B2+
Most courses stop at B1 and hand out medical vocabulary as a separate list. While you work on that specialist layer, the basis quietly decays. Our course keeps one repetition schedule across the whole route: a word from the B2+ material sits in the same system as a word from the first lesson.
The course aims at the ward rather than a phrasebook. Our own audio on every word, an exam mode with a clock per section, units that keep working offline. It prepares for the level itself and not for one certificate. Since the AKV test was abolished and the requirement became a B2+ certificate from a fixed list, that difference matters.
A virtual patient for language and clinic at once
At the bedside, language and medicine are not two exams. In the consultation trainer they are not either. You hold the conversation in Dutch, and what is assessed is both how you said it and what you concluded from it. Language schools do not build this, because they do not know the medicine. Medical courses do not build it either, because they take the language as given.
The exam simulation adapts to what you keep missing. Your readiness comes back as a range, weighted by what the exam actually tests. Below a certain number of answers the system gives no figure at all, because it has nothing reliable to say yet.
Three products, one profile
Language, clinical knowledge and the Dutch guideline sit with the same candidate. That is why these parts are worth more together than apart, and why the route can say where someone stands instead of only whether they passed.
