The Virtual Medical Center   

CVTC's Human Patient Simulators are changing the way people learn to save lives. 
 

CVTC's sophisticated patient manikins take everything known today about medical education and dramatically, and realistically deliver that knowledge into the hands of tomorrow's health professionals.

 At every level of patient care, hands-on experience is the best teacher. The Human Patient Simulator computer-model-driven, full-sized mannequins, deliver that experience in true-to-life scenarios that quickly change to meet instructor's goals. The ultra sophisticated and highly versatile manikins blink, speak and breath.  They have a heartbeat and a pulse, and accurately mirror human responses to such procedures as CPR, intravenous medication, intubation, ventilation, and catheterization.

How does this happen?

Through a meticulous blend of "high touch" with "high tech", this dramatically functional mannequin exhibits clinical signs so lifelike that students have been known to cry when it "dies". Add to this a profound array of complex programmed systems; cardiovascular, pulmonary, pharmacological, metabolic, genitourinary (male and female), and neurological - and you have an easily controlled teaching laboratory where students can practice again and again, until the highest quality patient care becomes second nature.
