“Today we stand at a critical juncture in the medical modeling and simulation industry. As partners
in this endeavor, medical professionals, elected officials, businesses, academia, and military consumers of M&S have a
responsibility to work together. Through our collaboration, we can harness the power of modeling and simulation in support
of new technology, in support of health care, our warfighters, and our national interest.”
- Representative J. Randy Forbes, R-VA

The Future of Medical Training and Simulation is
Highlighted at Largest Simulation Exhibition in History
The 2008 I/ITSEC conference and exhibition will feature more medical content and will showcase more
mind-boggling technology than ever before. A community of practice will assemble from December 1-4 in Orlando to share experiences,
define the challenges, create the science, build the applications, and leverage medical modeling and simulation technology to
improve preparation, training, and continuum of care.
From Medical special events to virtual surgical training to serious games to disaster modeling for urban
preparedness, it's all at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) at Orlando's Orange
County Convention Center. Join thousands of other attendees as you marvel at the present and explore the limitless future of this
revolutionary technology. >>>MORE

Building the Foundation for Medical Modeling and Simulation
Medical Modeling and Simulation is a critical technology for the education of our young medical practitioners and an
effective way to train the new proficiencies demanded of our warfighters and care givers as they respond to the challenges of today’s
battlespace. M&S is demonstrating a growing contribution to the protocols for the rehabilitation of our soldiers, sailors, and
airmen back to their units and their families.
An emerging community of practice is now ready for leaders in Government, Academia, and Industry to collaborate
and drive towards the common goal of thoughtful requirements, relevant science, and the transition technologies that must be the
foundation of effective solutions that will attract program funding.
Members of this round table and the audience will interact to identify how these communities can work together
to determine a future road map for Medical M&S and better serve the continuum of care, today and in the future.>>>MORE
Future Applications of M&S for Education, Training, & Care
Highlighting the enormous potential and challenge of medical modeling, simulation, and training, experts will navigate through the
human body, showing how technology is used to provide training for our military in the contemporary medical operating environment.
Our passage continues with numerous stops along the way, including presentations on project successes, such as Physiology Modeling,
Distributed Medical Training Environments, Tele-Medicine, and VR for Behavioral Health, including PTSD/TBI.>>>MORE |
