A group of researchers is using cutting-edge technology to provide critical training to health professionals at home and abroad.
The MUN MED 3D team designs and engineers advanced anatomical models and educational tools for simulation training and clinical application. Their research is aimed at improving patient outcomes and saving money for health-care systems.
"For rural and urban training sites the cost of simulators is a significant barrier to training," said Dr. Adam Dubrowski, professor, emergency medicine, Faculty of Medicine and principal investigator of the project.
The research team also includes Greg Walsh, project manager and engineer; Christine Goudie, research assistant and designer; and Nicole Bishop, research assistant.
