Effectively performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and critical airway management procedures can be the key to patient survival. For medical students and professionals, mastering these techniques requires more than textbook knowledge. It demands hands-on practice that builds muscle memory, confidence, and precision under immense pressure. This is where CPR manikins become indispensable tools, transforming otherwise passive learning into immersive experiences. High-fidelity CPR manikins …

Behind every ground-breaking medical advancement, from gene editing to imaging systems, stands a quiet but essential contributor: the model organism. These species serve as accessible, ethically manageable stand-ins for human biology, giving researchers and educators a practical way to explore complex systems and introduce students to real-world scientific thinking. For today’s medical educators, understanding the characteristics of model organisms and the most common types used in researc …

In today’s fast-evolving world of veterinary medicine, simply reading about anatomy or observing procedures isn’t enough. Veterinary students and educators increasingly seek immersive, hands-on learning approaches. However, training on live animals can be limited, costly, or ethically constrained. Immersive resources such as anatomical models and simulation tools provide a practical bridge between theory and application. Learn why models and simulations are essential to veterinary e …

When working with preserved specimens, the first step in maintaining their structure, texture, and educational value is proper fixation. Specimen fixatives are chemical solutions used to stabilize biological tissues, preventing decay while maintaining their lifelike color and form. In anatomy and pathology labs, fixation halts enzymatic activity, stops bacterial decomposition, and preserves microscopic details that would otherwise be lost hours after death. The fixation process is foundational t …
