This paper proposes a morphing moulage design for infected wound training simulations. The medical simulation industry is rapidly growing as it replaces old textbooks and animal models and improves existing medical training with the increased inclusion of more hands-on practical skill learning. Creation of high-fidelity simulators is an emerging field of study that has shown that the inclusion of moulage significantly improves engagement and learning in these simulations. To further improve the moulage, I have developed a dynamic moulage to represent an infected wound that is capable of changing appearance in response to actions taken during a simulation.application/pdfen-USCC BYEducationInfectionMoulageSimulationTrainingBioengineeringBioengineeringThesis
