Simulator in Action will employ video and case examples to spur conversation
and discussion about the potential of simulation in clinical medicine
for students and residents
THOMAS C. WEINERT , is an Associate with Touch of Life Technologies,
Inc., creators of The Visible Human Dissector software. Mr. Weinert
will demonstrate the VH Dissector, which provides access to 3D renderings
of photographic anatomy from the Visible Human Project. This virtual
cadaver includes over 2000 identified anatomic structures and the
cross-sections from which they were derived. The program can be used
as a free-form reference or navigated with user-created lesson plans.
This unique program provides the ability to approach the human body
from any combination of traditional views, including cross-sectional,
systemic, clinical, surface, regional and surgical anatomy. Hands-on

additional instructional materials. He will demonstrate what Harvey
can do to both instruct and assess learners in cardiology.
CLINICAL PERFORMANCE CENTER (CPC) An open house at the CPC will feature
Standardized Patients, Standardized Students, Human Simulator Models
videotapes, posters. Take a tour. Try things out. Have fun with a
Standardized Patient. Get feedback from a Standardized Student.
