Abstract
A patient simulation includes a patient generator for providing an image of a body of a patient on a display, where at least one portion of the body an be examined in greater detail; at least one communication device for allowing interaction between the patient and a user; and a behavior generator which causes the patient to appear to respond to treatment. The behavior generator includes psychological state data that allows the patient to react to the user's "bedside manner." Further, the simulation operates on a non-stop basis and in real time.
