Research

 

The SimCenter is on the vanguard of medical simulation research with initiatives that address important training requirements of military medical providers. Working with government, academia and industry, the SimCenter has focused its recent efforts on developing surgical simulators needed to support deployment missions, Included amongst these are research projects to create emergency airway simulators, intracranial hematoma simulators, physical fasciotomy simulators and screen based media to improve knowledge in caring for patients with moderate traumatic brain injuries.

Each of these research initiatives address prioritized training requirements and include performance measures that demonstrate the value of simulator training programs. Recent research initiatives include creating more durable task trainers for use in the field and fleet, improving learner assessments and the measurement of teamwork skills, and developing computer technology for more accurate virtual environments.
