Alice Bonasio writes: "I couldn’t quite decide whether it was his agonized expression or the detailed tattoos covering his arms that bewildered me the most, but the full-size dummy in a hospital gown wasn’t there to freak people out. He was there to help improve healthcare for U.S. veterans, part of the technology arsenal of the Veterans Health Administration’s high-tech SimLearn facility, housed in an impressive building on the outskirts of Orlando."

Researchers from the University of Luxembourg, in cooperation with the University of Strasbourg, have developed a computational method that could be used to guide surgeons during brain surgery.
Surgeons often operate in the dark. They have a limited view of the surface of the organ, and can typically not see what lies hidden inside. Quality images can routinely be taken prior to the surgery, but as soon as the operation begins, the position of the surgeon's target and risky areas he must avoid, continuously change.

Army Reserve soldiers in medical specialties often do something completely different in their civilian jobs, and with only a few days a year to use their medical skills, they’re at risk of seeing their skills degrade, officials say. “We don’t have enough time and money to properly and adequately train our Army Reserve soldiers who are in these low-density specialties,” said Lt. Col. Michael Filipowicz, deputy commander and chief of staff for North East Medical Area Readiness Support Group.

To explain the situations that New York Medical College’s Center of Excellence in Precision Responses to Bioterrorism and Disasters will help address, Dr. Robert W. Amler said to picture the final scene of an action or disaster movie. Sure, the hero has done what he set out to do and solved whatever crisis he faced, but in real life that would only be a small part of the story, said Amler. After all, plenty of people may have been harmed before our hero finally resolved or prevented the calamity.

McGill’s faculty of medicine is using a fake apartment to teach students real home care skills.
The simulation apartment, part of the faculty’s Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning, is decked out with everything you’d see in a real home – kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and everything that you’d normally find in them. The patients, however, are not real – they’re actors, hired to pretend to have various ailments the future healthcare providers might find once they’re working. Students watch their colleagues go through the simulations, which are followed by a debrief on what they got right and wrong.
