Abstract
The Medical Readiness Trainer (MRT) constitutes a medical education environment, in which, the integration of fully immersive Virtual Reality with highly advanced medical simulation technologies and medical databases exposes the trainee to the vast range of complex medical situations. MRT allows the simultaneous interaction of medically appropriate context, situational realism, and psychological stressors necessary for the dynamic acquisition of manual and diagnostic medical skills. A network of MRT's will allow creation of collaborative virtual environments essential for training of both individual and team/unit medical skills, and for training of medical management and logistic support functions
