Government of El Salvador Partners with Yoodli to Scale Doctor-Patient Communication Training Nationwide

San Salvador : The Government of El Salvador has partnered with Yoodli, an AI-powered roleplay and coaching platform, to strengthen doctor-patient communication across the country. As El Salvador expands access to virtual care, the government is focused on ensuring that every patient conversation, whether in-person or online, is clear, empathetic, and consistent.

Through this initiative, thousands of doctors nationwide will be supported with communication training that can scale beyond traditional workshops. Yoodli enables physicians to practice realistic patient interactions, receive immediate feedback, and build confidence in a private, judgment-free environment. The result is a stronger, more patient-centered experience delivered consistently across the healthcare system.

The Challenge: Scaling Communication Training for a Growing Virtual Care System

Clear doctor-patient communication directly affects trust, understanding, and health outcomes. As healthcare shifts toward more virtual visits, the risk of miscommunication increases, especially when conversations involve complex diagnoses, sensitive topics, or high emotional stakes.

At the same time, training every doctor through in-person programs alone is difficult to scale quickly and consistently across regions.

El Salvador needed a modern training approach that could:

• Prepare doctors for high-quality virtual consultations
  
• Standardize communication skills across a national workforce
  
• Improve clarity and empathy in patient conversations
  
• Deliver training at scale without requiring proportional increases in facilitator time and logistics

The Solution: AI-Powered Practice That Builds Real Skill at National Scale

Yoodli gives doctors access to realistic patient scenarios that reflect the conversations they face in real clinical settings. Physicians can practice consultations, receive real-time coaching, and improve through repetition. This is one of the most reliable ways to build confidence and long-term communication skill.

Through the program, El Salvador is enabling doctors to:

• Strengthen virtual bedside manner by practicing remote consultations
  
• Improve clarity and structure so patients better understand diagnoses and treatment plans
  
• Practice high-stakes conversations, including emotionally sensitive scenarios
  
• Receive consistent training nationwide, regardless of location or specialty

Scaled Adoption and Measurable Impact

In 2025, the program saw both broad reach and sustained practice. This is a strong indicator that doctors were not just trying the platform, but returning consistently to build real communication skills.

• 1,800+ doctors and learners trained
  
• 934,000 minutes of practice completed (The equivalent of 21 months of training time, delivered on demand across the system.)
  
• Top participants completed hundreds of simulated consultations, with the most active users approaching 700 sessions in a single year
  
• Several core competencies improved by 60%+, indicating meaningful skill growth and stronger communication readiness
  

These results reflect what matters: the ability to standardize the quality of patient communication across the country and help doctors build confidence as virtual care becomes a larger part of healthcare delivery.
