Meet Stan (Standard Man), the Man who saves more lives. http://an.hitchcock.org/dhmcsimulation/what_is.html
The DHMC Simulation Center uses three primary types of simulation: actors that portray standardized patients, full-sized patient mannequins and task trainers.
Resource Links: http://www.isis.washington.edu/ The Institute for Surgical and Interventional Simulation has, as its primary goal, to provide leadership in the use of simulation technologies to improve the quality of health care education and improve patient safety and outcomes. ISIS will seek highly collaborative alliances in selected projects with other educational and health care delivery systems with similar interests in simulation. The primary impact of ISIS will be upon the citizens of the State of Washington and the greater WWAMI region. Through its research and education efforts and publication of results, ISIS will also have a strong influence and potential impact upon providers and patients in a global fashion.

Every once in a while something revolutionary comes along that makes us stop and see things differently. Something that radically changes the way we see our world. That time is now.
Designed from the inside out, METI has created the first patient simulator truly based around a human-like skeletal structure. A revolutionary development in itself. But iStan also closely mimics the anatomical workings of the human body to a level of realism not possible with other simulators. Spine, neck, arms and hips all move with incredible life-like accuracy. And iStan is fully wireless and battery operated for amazing portability and versatility. Modeled from a unique cast of a real person, the skin of iStan truly acts, looks and feels like real human skin. Finally, iStan comes fully loaded, boasting an unsurpassed array of new, breakthrough features that will take simulation training to a new and exciting level of realism
http://www.simsurgery.com/SEP robotic simulator offers an effective, safe, and cost efficient solution for training robotic surgery. Whereas training on the real robot requires a full setup of the complete telemanipulatory system, using SEP requires less time and people. In addition it will not harm the robotic system. The SEP robotic simulator can run with other SEP simulators on the same SEP surgical hardware platform.“Training robot assisted anastomosis suturing using a virtual reality simulator without additional training equals training using a mechanical simulator. Virtual reality training can replace the standard way of training during the early part of training”.
