Medical Education
Medical simulation mannequins, models or related artefacts such as SimMan or Harvey are widely used in medical education. These are sometimes also referred to as virtual patients.
In first aid courses mannequins may be used to demonstrate methods of giving first aid (e.g., resuscitation).

Famous quotes containing the words medical and/or education:
“Often, we expect too much [from a nanny]. We want someone like ourselves—bright, witty, responsible, loving, imaginative, patient, well-mannered, and cheerful. Also, we want her to be smart, but not so smart that she’s going to get bored in two months and leave us to go to medical school.”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
“It is not every man who can be a Christian, even in a very moderate sense, whatever education you give him. It is a matter of constitution and temperament, after all. He may have to be born again many times. I have known many a man who pretended to be a Christian, in whom it was ridiculous, for he had no genius for it. It is not every man who can be a free man, even.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
