MedSim - Respiratory System Inspection

The pulmonary examination consists of inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. Inspection is an active process. It is done with the eyes and the intellect. It begins with the initial greeting and continues uninterruptedly during the entire data collection process. Even as the first serious question of the fully dressed patient is asked, the inspection begins through active observation. MedSim includes case simulations in which a student interacts with a virtual patient to obtain the history, conduct a physical exam and make diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. The student may ask questions to the virtual patient, order medical examinations or therapy activities and determine the outcome. The student works his way toward a correct final diagnosis by moving through several sections followed by a patient management until the patient is completely cured or discharged. Thus the student's decisions have direct consequences on the virtual patient's treatment outcome. The use of simulation is a practical and safe approach to the acquisition and maintenance of task-oriented and behavioural skills across the spectrum of medical specialties. Simulation offers clinicians a safe, practical, and credible means to acquire skills and learn how to optimally manage clinical scenarios. Try MedSim at http://www.medsim.in
