ABOUT HARVEY
NYMC Health Sciences Library invites you to take advantage of an
inspired teaching device,
The Cardiology Patient Simulator.
“Harvey”, as he is known, is a life-sized mannequin
created to help doctors, nurses and medical students develop and
improve their diagnostic skills in the field of cardiac care.
Harvey gives the user the opportunity to study various cardiac
conditions and practice bedside examination techniques under realistic
conditions without the difficulty of finding an appropriate group
of available cardiology patients.
Harvey is equipped with sophisticated components, which provide
the user with a realistic simulation of 30 cardiovascular conditions
(two normal and 28 cardiovascular diseases).
On our new digital Harvey, pulmonary auscultatory findings are
now simulated and appropriately matched to the cardiac disease being
presented. |
