Dr. Harvey Magee starts a virtual assessment of an injured soldier seen on a computer screen during a demonstration of the Simulation Technologies for Advanced Trauma Care (STATCare) Friday, Dec. 10, 2004, at the Video Game Entertainment Industry Technology and Medicine Conference in Marina Del Rey area of Los Angeles. The PC-based multimedia simulation gives health care providers interactive training on virtual patients who respond as humans to simulated emergency scenarios to treatment and drugs. The program was co-developed by funding by the U.S. Army Medical Research Material Command. A study done by Dr. James Rosser of the Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City has shown a significant correlation between video game experience and proficiency at laparoscopic surgery.
