Useful simulators for distance learning
Virtual patients, sonographic modules or practical exercises. Here are some ways to improve distance learning.
Turbulent Sky
Webpage TurbulentSky offers online virtual simulation of disaster event. It offers training of disaster management. Students can obtain skills like ability to act responsibly, collaborate with other health and other professionals, critical thinking and decision making while providing healthcare during a disaster. Guidelines used in this simulation can be different as guidelines in Slovakia, but they can be same as in your country, it can be necessary to find adequate guidelines to solve this simulation.
To check your gained knowledge you can find there quiz challenge.
Virtual Healthcare Experience
Centennial College, Ryerson University, and George Brown College created virtual patient´s cases directly from hospital environment - de.ryerson. Here students can access a number of virtual simulation experiences that will engage you in clinical decision making.
Virtual Interactive Cases
Virtual Interactive Case System offers a lot of different cases of the virtual patient. Those cases are clinical reasoning exercises with feedback.
Cases include different parts of medicine:
- Anesthesia cases: HERE
- Preoperative: HERE
- Cases for Pharmacy: HERE
- Rheumatology cases: HERE
- Obstetric Medicine cases: HERE
- Familly medicine: HERE
- Nursing cases: HERE

Lungs- this part offer list of over twenty adventitious and normal breath sounds, listening tips, waveforms, patient cases with lungs problems and minitests.
EKG – here you can find ECG definition, interpretations, waveform and minitests.
BP – you can train your sklil of taking blood pressure in short simulation with listening and test yourself. You can find here pediatric pacients as well.
Access without registration.
Auscultation
Ausculatation sounds for training you can find here:
Physical diagnoss: sounds, videos and images
Webpage libraryguides.neomed.edu offers a collection of multimedia resources aimed to help students learn and diagnose conditions by physical exam.
Students can find here resources for auscultation, cardiology, pulmonology, neurology....
Interesting are for exapmle webpages, where you can find pictures from otoscope . with different pathologies (HERE), or pictures from otoscope with different pathologies (HERE).
