Modelling and Simulation Technologies for Training Medical/Healthcare Professionals

Abstract

This NATO effort focused on identifying ways to use modelling and simulation technologies to prepare and train military medical professionals for operational and peacekeeping deployments. These tools should help healthcare providers recognize and deal with combat casualty care issues, perform under highly stressful conditions, and function effectively as a member of a medical team. Modelling and Simulation tools are important across the spectrum of military medicine, from forward care through evacuation to definitive care at fixed facilities. Validation studies need to be conducted on currently available modelling and simulation technologies, and metrics for accurate assessment of learning/skill improvement need to be established. Given the international scope of modelling and simulation industries, NATO is strategically placed to leverage national expertise and devise innovative strategies to best utilize current and future technologies in these areas. These strategies will be important to meet the ever-increasing demands of combat medicine and peacekeeping missions, especially in Joint/Multi Domain Environments.
