The medical online learning programme by the Tübingen-based E-learning publisher INMEDEA GmbH simulates procedures and situations in different departments of a hospital with their respective typical patient groups – without students, doctors or nursing staff even having to set foot in a clinic.
Simulations are not intended to replace real practical training, but to optimise it with a targeted approach to everyday clinical occurrences.
One of the first to benefit is the German army, which will shortly be using the programme for the remote training of army doctors.
