Students become a rapid response trauma team aboard a Mercy ship traveling up the Amazon. The emergency specialists in your classroom will use a state-of-the–art, high-tech medical interface to triage a wide range of patient ailments. The goal during this scenario is to accurately diagnose patients, order needed tests, interpret test results and assign appropriate treatment as well as assign suitable NIH clinical trials to as many patients as possible during a shift. This intense simulation provides an engaged and immersive learning environment that challenges your students’ critical thinking and problem solving skills. Your students will work collaboratively with a Chief Medical Officer at the Challenger Learning Center in hopes of saving the lives of the native population and Medical Research personnel in the rainforests of Brazil.

Program Details

Format

The CyberSurgeons simulation provides an authentic way for high school and college students to apply science knowledge and skills.

To complete the mission, students become part of the fictional CyberSurgeons remote trauma unit on a mercy ship. The simulated ship is equipped with a high-tech hospital and medical research capabilities, state-of-the-art high-end communications systems, and dedicated satellites to relay information.

During the live event the Chief Medical Officer at the Challenger Learning Center monitors their progress as they evaluate, treat and discarge patients. Additionally, students conduct research to find an appropriate NIH clinical trial for these patients.

Objectives

Students use their knowledge of body systems to help diagnose and treat a series of patients in the waiting room. They use a high-tech interface that has been created to analyze test results and provide proper medical care for each patient in a timely manner. The students also manage or triage critical cases as they work their case load.
