GUS - Georgetown University Patient Simulator

GUS can be male or female, age 18 or 70, a diabetic or a cardiac patient. GUS' sex, age, and health status can be changed as quickly as you can say, "GUS!" GUS features heart and lung sounds, papillary reactions, and can be used to teach intubation, ventilation, and follow-up assessment.

GUS featured on FOX5 segment about "Pathways to Success" Program.

Simulation allows students to apply and hone theory in a non-threatening environment while providing preparation for students who will enter real-life clinical situations.This remarkable teaching tool allows students to get clinical training and confidence in advanced diagnostic and treatment skills in preparation for treating actual patients.

GUS is used by students in across NHS programs. Nursing students master valuable critical thinking skills that they will employ in their careers. And Human Science and International Health students also gain experience GUS as they use GUS to research various physiological events. GUS can simulate human physiological conditons on the Moon or at the top of Mt. Everest, for example.
