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.
