NEWARK – Students at Central Ohio Technical College (COTC) can better learn how to diagnose disease courtesy of two new ultrasound simulators recently purchased with CARES Act funds.
CARES refers to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.
The SCANTRAINER simulators from U.K.-based Intelligent Ultrasound will help train students in emergency and general medicine as well as obstetrics and gynecology.
“Our students are entering the clinical environment with up-to-date, current scanning skills — even the latest medical conditions like COVID pathologies that the entire world is still working to understand,” DMS Program Director Melinda Brillhart said in a press release from COTC.
The new simulators also put more than 900 cloud-based case studies and other teaching aids at the users’ fingertips.
In recent years, COTC’s program has utilized OB/GYN SCANTRAINER systems, but the need for new simulators has gained urgency as the program grows its curriculum.
