Dr. Pierro HirschDirector, Road Safety Researcher at Virage Simulation

Since 2006, Dr. Pierro Hirsch has been the Director of Road Safety Researcher at Virage Simulation, a Montreal-based manufacturer of car and truck simulators and developer of driver training and assessment programs. His primary role is to transfer the experience and knowledge he has acquired over his 36 years as a driver trainer, evaluator and road safety researcher into practical methods for reducing crash risk through driver behavior. Pierro is driven by his conviction that the vast majority of traffic-related injuries can be prevented or mitigated through correct and timely driver behaviors and that these behaviors are trainable using the right tools and methods. He firmly believes that training and assessment are intrinsically linked and that it is a fundamental error to develop either one without concurrently developing the other. Between 1976 and

2005, Pierro’s career progressed from driving school teacher to school owner to teacher-trainer and then, in 1993, he formally applied his practical experience to road safety research focusing first on novice drivers. For his Master’s thesis, he tested and found supporting evidence for the hypothesis that after five hours of observing students learn to drive, driving teachers can predict their future safety. For his doctorate, he studied the distal and proximal crash risk factors and driving records of 1,807 novice drivers over a two-year period. One conclusion he drew from that study was that the licensing process was in dire need of an objective, scientific tool for measuring driving competence and crash risk. He is the author of several peer-reviewed scientific articles and he regularly presents his findings and ideas at national and international conferences.

Since 2006, he has initiated several driving simulator-based research projects, including a project to produce a prototype hazard perception/response test on a driving simulator and a five-year transfer of training study to measure the efficiency and safety benefits of simulator-based driver training for novice drivers. He is currently working on a pilot project with a rehabilitation center in Montreal to develop optimal training and assessment scenarios to meet the diverse needs of their clientele. In 2008 – 2009, Pierro was a curriculum development consultant for the Quebec Government Mandatory Novice Driver Program. He is currently a member of the Committee on Operator Education and Regulation, ANB30 at the Transportation Research Board, Washington D.C.

For 20 years, Pocket Nurse® has worked with healthcare educators all across the country to develop products to help maximize the authenticity and effectiveness of healthcare simulation scenarios. Our Demo Dose line is a prime example; Demo Dose products look, feel, and are packaged almost exactly as the real products but lack the active ingredient to have any effect and are far cheaper than the real medications. When applied to healthcare simulation scenarios, they help students understand how the real medications look and feel; furthermore, they have features, such as expiration dates, which help the student understand aspects of the medications which could not be obtained using expired medications or any other replacement. Our Demo Dose line is just one example of the types of products we sell and certainly proves the value that can be had by employing the use of products designed specifically for training and education.

Author of Game Technology for Medical Educationand Simulation Interoperability

Where we came from and where

we are going

Roger D. Smith

Simulation has been a powerful tool for training the military for over 3000 years. What began as sand tables and board games has evolved into advanced computer and communication systems that encompass the globe and provide training portals on every continent. Commercial com-puter games have followed a similar evolutionary trajectory in delivering entertainment. Th e core technologies behind both fi elds have many com-monalities and become more intertwined every year.

Th is book is a collection of essays on the technical, social, and economic importance of simulation and gaming techniques, tools, and technologies. It provides a fascinating historial summary, explores important technical capabilities, and speculates on the role that these technologies will play in the future.

Dr. Roger Smith is the Chief Technology Offi cer for U.S. Army Simula-tion, Training, and Instrumentation and has over 20 years of experience in military simulation and gaming. He has served as a Vice President and CTO for large system and software development companies. He teaches professional seminars on technology, business, and leadership across the United States and Europe, and has been on the faculty of three universi-ties. He holds a Doctorate in Computer Science and a Doctorate in Busi-ness Administration.

“Th e world inside a simulator is as real as the world inside your head—but it is more accurate.”

Th is book is fi lled with short words of advice from hundreds of successful professionals in industry, government, and academia. It emerged from one simple question posed to all of them.

“Imagine that you are about to give your business card to a young person entering your profession. But fi rst, you turn that card over and write a short piece of advice to help them get started in their career. What would you write on the back of your own business card to help them?”

Th e advice is from the people who will hire you and for whom you will work. Th ey are all very eager to share their most valuable ideas with oth-ers entering their fi eld. Each of these leaders remembers how clueless they were when they started in business. Th is is their way of helping you get started with the advice that they never received—but wished that they had.

What advice would you give to someone getting started?

Dr. Roger Smith

“Th ere is no excuse for the surgeon to learn on the patient.”William Mayo, 1927

Th is book proposes four hypotheses concerning the impact and acceptance of virtual reality, simulation, and computer game technologies in medical education. It focuses on laparoscopic surgery because of the similarities between that form of surgery and virtual reality systems. Th e evidence indicates that the following four hypotheses are supported by the medical research literature.

Hypothesis 1: Surgical training can be accomplished at a lower cost using virtual real-ity and game technology-based tools than through existing methods of training.

Hypothesis 2: Virtual reality and game technology-based training environments provide better access to representative patient symptoms and allow more repetitive practice than existing forms of training.

Hypothesis 3: Virtual reality and game technology-based training environments can reduce the training time required to achieve profi ciency in specifi c procedures.

Hypothesis 4: Virtual reality and game technology-based training can reduce the number of medical errors caused by residents and surgeons learning to perform new procedures.

Th e strong evidence collected in this study indicates that game-based systems are becom-ing much more accepted in medical education and that the technical limitations that existed when these devices were fi rst introduced are being overcome.
