With SIMTICS you can learn and practice the key clinical skills that Medical Assistants perform in a physician’s office, so you’ll be better prepared for your labs and externships. Learn how to get ready for each procedure, the correct steps to perform it safely, and the consumables, instruments and equipment you’ll be using. There are 18 different modules to choose from. Each module includes: a demonstration video, explanatory text with illustrations, an anatomy section with 2D and 3D images, the simulator with three different scenarios, and a quiz./SIMTIC (Links to an external site.)
