Here’s a glimpse at what lies ahead for students planning a career in medicine: Computer-based methods and incredibly accurate anatomical simulators are not simply the wave of the future—they are already being used for teaching everything from basic physiology to hands-on trauma care and even microsurgical techniques.

Trauma Training for Physicians SimBioSys Physiology Labs teach with real-time simulations of the human body using mathematical models to answer "what if" questions about the function of the heart, lungs, and other organs. SimBioSys Physiology Labs use an interactive on-screen textbook with animations, quizzes, and illustrations. The curriculum is supplemented with 68 guided laboratory exercises. Students can model blood loss, give a host of drugs or fluids, or use clinical tools such as a pacemaker or a mechanical ventilator. Contact Critical Concepts, Inc. at 847-222-0623.
