﻿ [define]
medical simulation is the technique of using key characteristics to imitate and model actual medical situations. it is relative to artificial intelligence as it enables users to repliacte human thought and processes via medical practices.

[applications]
medical simulation is generally used for educating and training those in medical fields, artificially teaching medical professionals and reducing the occurence of accidents during surgery and general practice.

[end user]
people in the medical field, including doctors, nurses and physiotherapists among others, would use medical simulation to enhance the skills necessary to their occupation. medical students may also be introduced to this innovation in universities whilst being taught, imitating real medical situations they may encounter if the pursue a meical profession.



[issues]
**social:** it is argued that medical simulations are not valid enough and hence do not accurately demonstrate medical situations due to the recent introduction of simulation to fields not only exclusive to medicine, but also the military and aviation. more research is required for medical simulation for its credibility to be attained. **ethical:** ﻿end users of the simulation would be required and expected to be continously trained to keep up with the changing technologies that are being rapidly introduced to society.
