Abstract
The use of simulation in the training of health care professionals and patients includes diverse applications such as computer modeling, patient simulators, environmental simulations, gaming, static and dynamic holograms, the use of virtual patients or virtual environments, to name a few. This panel brings together experts on the use of simulation for training health care professionals and patients in a military health care setting. It is widely known that in the presence of War, the health care and rehabilitation of wounded warriors necessitates growth and development of medical practice, and the United States has now been engaged in War for ten years. The value of the information provided in this panel reaches beyond military medicine, as each panelist will discuss their topic with respect to current research and findings, and the application of results in both military and civilian settings. The panel will engage the audience in discussions of cross-disciplinary applications, including areas for potential collaboration across military and civilian services.
