    312th TRS modernizes EMR course

    Manikins have been used since the 1960s, helping medical professionals learn how to accurately assess and treat patients in a simulated situation. The first medical manikins were used to teach resuscitation then later developed for teaching things such as anesthesiology and childbirth. The 312th Training Squadron here recently acquired new and improved HAL Manikins as a training tool in the Emergency Medical Responders course. These manikins allow students to diagnose and assist the patient by taking vitals and asking questions.
