Abstract
Introduced here are teaching system for realistically simulating medical situations in such a manner to test individuals as to the adequacy of their learning. A teaching system may include a manikin representative of a patient, an image projection mechanism, a simulation mechanism, a headpiece, a pair of hand coverings, a controller, a performance review mechanism, a recording device, a scenario generation mechanism, or any combination thereof. The teaching system can improve upon conventional simulation in several respects. First, the script corresponding to a simulation session may be dynamically traversed to mimic the unpredictability of an actual medical situation. Second, the action(s) of an individual may be actively monitored to discover whether her behavior complied with the relevant protocol(s).
