Abstract
This paper describes the rationale for using computer simulation models as aids in medical education. One such model for teaching about oral anticoagulant drug-clotting factor interaction and the effect of other drugs and illness on this interaction is briefly described. The rest of the paper describes a model used for teaching the management of diabetic ketoacidosis. This model uses empiric equations to simulate the interaction of insulin, blood sugar, serum potassium, PH, acetone and a variety of other parameters. Student input is accepted in free text. A “consultant” function is available for direct didactic interaction. This model has been used by several hundred students with favorable results.
