Tech Grove Connect – Developing Criteria to Compare Military Medical Trauma Simulations Across Modalities

The military trains medics on trauma management procedures using various methods and modalities of simulation. Simulation modalities for medical training may include manikins, part-task trainers, augmented/virtual reality, computer-based simulations, cadavers, or live animals. Each modality has benefits and limits, such as suitability for training a certain task, cost, scalability, and deployability. To choose the right simulation, it is important to examine modality benefits and limits to train specific medical tasks and to understand the capability gaps for the given training context.

Join us to hear how this team of experts tackled the need, what the outcomes were, and plans for future evaluations that will help ensure optimal training for military medical personnel. This webinar features speakers from the team behind the Simulation I/ITSEC 2023 Best Paper nominee.
