MicroSim

Practice virtual patient cases with microsimulation

Helping Increase Educational Efficiency
MicroSim provides self-directed learning through the simulation of realistic patient scenarios. It is a computer program that simulates medical emergencies and procedures to help learners develop decision-making and critical thinking skills. Together with team training in scenarios, MicroSim is a resource-efficient way for learners to practice virtual patient cases that ready them for the real world.

MicroSim has three different versions: Inhospital, Prehospital and Military.
