training U.S. military medics and nurses and medical technicians at many community colleges. At least half of the nation's 120 medical schools already use simulators to teach students and residents, or graduates completing training at hospitals. Medical school professors say simulators help their students and residents build confidence and make mistakes - before they treat real patients. "It's an extraordinary advantage," said Dr. Adam I. Levine, director of the anesthesiology residency program at one medical school in New York. "If you have to think through the problem yourself and get your answer, you learn it better." Students sometimes get so caught up in a training scenario that they are upset if a monitor shows the patient has died. One anesthesiology resident who had sedated a "patient" for surgery, then couldn't insert a breathing tube, crazily resorted to mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, Levine recalled.
